The Cake Lady is moving downtown
Randy Schultz and his wife Nancy purchased the former Cake Lady Supply store on Eldorado in the summer of 2021. In September, they moved it to 160 W. Wood St. in Decatur.
They specialize in baking supplies, including chocolates, various decorative sprinkles, cake and candy molds, and tips for pastry bags. “A bit of everything when it comes to baking,” says Randy Schultz.
The products are used by professional and amateur bakers. “We love to answer all of them,” Schultz said.

The couple purchased the inventory last year after former owner Sue Clark passed away. Schultz admits they are not professional bakers. “We just wanted a different challenge,” he said.

ON BIZ: Daily Delights from TKG, Stand Up Paddle, MTZ Auto Express
TKG changes things
Motorists along South Franklin Street have likely noticed a change in the TKG’s restaurant sign.
He now reads TKG’s Daily Delights.
According to owner Kathleen Garmon (pictured), the restaurant is no longer part of the Wing Heaven franchise. The restaurant, located at 760 S. Franklin St., opened its doors seven years ago. Garmon and her husband Tom intended to open TKG’s Daily Bread years ago.
“After experiencing Wing Heaven, which was great for us for seven years, we decided to use our original platform,” she said.
The menu is heavy on soul food, with offerings such as collard greens, cornbread dressing, candied yams, and macaroni and cheese.
“And there are other foods that we add daily, maybe mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, spaghetti,” Garmon said. “People like variety.”
TKG is known for its variety of wings. With their own company, the owners have removed the spices and flavors from Wing Heaven.
“The sauces we have now are our creations,” Garmon said.
The restaurant has also changed its hours. The company is now open from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Friday. “We take our last call at 6:15 p.m.,” Garmon said.

“And to open it as an additional service to the community to be able to get their oil changed.” No appointment is necessary for Auto Express services.
