Summer Howard says her new bakery, Film Cakez, at 1401 High St., is a community and family-based establishment. She has been a part of the Bethlehem community for the last 25 years. For Howard, baking has always been a family affair.

Her bakery specializes in cake mapping, which is a process that brings five-tier cakes alive through technology by projecting images and patterns on to the cakes. Most cakes will have a Hollywood theme. The concept is new to the Lehigh Valley.

Howard first started baking as a child with her grandmother, “Nana.” Her grandmother sold food plates for friends and family and Summer was her best helper. Nana was also a baker. Over the years, Howard picked up a host of culinary skills helping her grandmother. Baking became her passion, which led to plans to open her own bakery with her mother and grandmother. When her grandmother passed, Howard began to bake more and more. And even though her mother did not live to see the opening of the bakery either, Howard has a dedication to the women in the bakery so that “they are always with me in the bakery.”

Customer can see videos of cake mapping and a catalog of Howard’s cake art on the website filmcakz.com.
