June 4, 2008 – Doggie Cakes – Bakery and Boutique was on Tampa Bay’s 10 News! The video aired in the 4:00 pm hour and featured Trina and group of dog customers and their owners.

Ms. Bursch and cameraman Dennis Hollingsworth were very nice and really had a handle getting the best shots...

Google Maps has a nice group of placemarks of dog-friendly parks in the Tampa Bay area. Doggie Cakes is only a seven minute drive from Meadows Park on Larch Lane in New Port Richey. I have mapped the driving directions, in case you would like to stop by after playing. This park has separate fenced play areas for small and big dogs. Dogs are also welcome at Orange Lake Park, which is within walking distance of Doggie Cakes.

April was a busy month at Doggie Cakes as we painted, cleaned, ordered fixtures, learned about local procedures and permits, and purchased items for the boutique.
Hopefully we are just three inspections away from opening. Until then and for the foreseeable future you can shop from Doggie Cakes at the New Port Richey Farmer’s Market. Saturday’s 9 AM – 1 PM. Cavalaire Square, located just east of Grand Boulevard between Missouri and Nebraska Avenues. This map is pretty close to the Square. See you soon.
The market and other upcoming events are by Greater New Port Richey Main Street.
