Welcome to
A Little Imagination Cakes
All of our handcrafted cakes are made to order in West Hartford, Connecticut and skillfully decorated with fondant and gumpaste. (That's right, just like the creations on all those popular Food Network shows!)

In terms of how your cake will look, that’s really up to you! If you have something specific in mind, provide as much direction as you’d like, (even napkin drawings), to help us create the cake of your dreams. On the other hand, if you have the starting point rather than a specific vision, that’s fine too, simply pass along a few details about the occasion or recipient and we’ll be happy to create a custom design.
Have fun working up an appetite as you peruse the site and remember... all it takes is a little imagination!
Hope Butler
Behind the Whisk
A Little Imagination Cakes began in early 2009 with Hope Butler and, you guessed it...a little imagination. Originally a part-time caker for friends and family, Hope soon found herself dedicating more and more of her time to confectionary creations.
As orders filled the calendar and flour covered more of her wardrobe, Hope decided to trade in the 9-5 office grind for her apron full-time. Deftly manipulating fondant to her will ever since, Hope has become one of the premier cake sculptors in Connecticut.

Testimonials
- I was not willing to compromise on look or taste, and Hope provided us with an extremely beautiful vintage style cake in our colors, that tasted WONDERFUL. We gave her some creative freedom, and she made our cake a work of art.
- Hope is absolutely wonderful! We did a non-traditional cupcake tower for our wedding and people are still raving about it! She listened to everything we were looking for and delivered 100%. Not only was the presentation unbelievable but the cupcakes were DELICIOUS!
- I am a firefighter and we wanted a helmet for a cake, I took pictures of the helmet and she replicated it. I was stunned when I saw the detail and how close the helmet looked like mine.
- Hope was the only baker/artist to "get it" (and over the phone for the initial consultation, too!) Our guests are still raving about it, as well as people who see the pictures of it! Perfect in every way and the centerpiece to a very fun and unique wedding!
