Cy-Fair family plans to open Dolce Art Custom Cakes storefront soon

After years of running her custom cake business, Xiomara Zabala plans to open her first storefront this February at 14908 Hwy. 290, Houston, near Jersey Village.

Dolce Art Custom Cakes will offer custom cakes for any occasion, and Zabala said she will also offer a variety of cakes and baked treats for purchase in-store. The shop will initially be open Tue.-Fri. from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sat. from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Zabala said she hopes to grow her team and offer baking classes in the future, which may include kids camps and even small party packages for groups of 20 or less.

“The vision for this cake studio is not only to make beautiful cakes but provide unique experiences,” she said.

Her whole family pitches in to help make this vision a reality, according to her son Miguel.

“The opening of our new storefront this year is a monumental milestone in the advancement of our American dream story,” he said. “Our family immigrated from Venezuela to Cypress in 2004. Many changes came along with this move, including 180-degree career changes for my mother and father. [My mother] leveraged skills she learned from only a few-day baking workshop in her country to make edible art to simply provide for her family in times of need.”
