Classic Cakes and Confections

Ella and Neil Levinson bring pure imagination to every delicious and whimsical cake they create. It begins the moment you meet them: She, the Russian born, internationally schooled pastry pro with boundless creativity and a sharp, decisive way with the cake knife. And he, the Canadian born builder turned baker, with the curly hair and calming voice of a certain beloved confection maker. Through no intentional effort of their own, your own imagination takes flight. Suddenly, delightfully, you’re entrusting your special cake to a super capable Bond girl and Willy Wonka. Anything you want to, do it. You only live twice. The Levinsons have been making their award winning cakes since 2006 at their specialty cake production kitchen on 32nd Street north of Shea Boulevard. Over the years, Classic Cakes and Confections has grown to become one of the most in demand confectioners in town, partnering with Arizona Biltmore Resort, Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort, The Phoenician, Montelucia Resort, W Scottsdale, El Chorro Lodge, DC Ranch and Silver Leaf. Along the way, Ella and Neil and their staff, also spend their days creating extraordinary wedding and event cakes for ordinary amazing folks, sharing their recipes on local and national morning TV news shows and engaging in their adopted Arizona surroundings for inspiration, creativity and magic. In February 2013, Classic Cakes and Confections opened its first retail location, on Stetson Drive in Scottsdale just south of 6th Avenue. There, you can sample their famous cakes, “crodough” croissant -donuts, cupcakes, pies, cookies and pastries, peer in close at some of the amazing cake creations that have become the Levinsons’ trademark, and smile as you breathe in the aroma of all the fresh baked goodies made from the finest ingredients produced both locally and internationally.
