Debbies Specialty Cakes

 Making cakes has been my labor of love for over 30 years. I am a fully licensed baker in the state of Connecticut. I take pride in crafting just the right wedding or "specialty" cake for you. I use only whole eggs and pure vanilla extract. I do not buy in bulk nor do I compromise on the quality of my ingredients. Call or email for a personal appointment. I encourage the bride to bring pictures of favorite cakes. (860).684.7981

Located on beautiful Lake Hayward in East Haddam, CT, we offer scenic, romantic carriage rides around the lake and will travel throughout New England for weddings, anniversaries, proms, and other celebrations. In addition, we cater to city and town events, festivals, parades, parties, and most solemn antique horse drawn funerals.  Our antique sleighs offer an invigorating ride through New England’s snow covered landscape. If you wish to learn to drive your own carriage, we can provide lessons as well.  Our horses are fully and personally trained by us, ensuring your comfort and safety. 
Almost every carriage, in addition to being a true antique, has been featured in movie productions such as Steven Spielberg’s “Amistad”, “The Time Machine”, and “Kate and Leopold.” Television appearances include “Sex in the City”, and “Ed”.  Allegra Farm horses and carriages are a year-round fixture at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, CT.  Make you next occasion magic and memorable and travel in royal style with Allegra Farm livery stables.  Visit us online at www.allegrafarm.com for pictures and contact information.
