About Favor Desserts

Favor Desserts is a from-scratch bakery located at 4520 South Alston Ave in Durham, North Carolina, founded in July 2004 by Master Baker Keijuane Hester under the motto Desserts Just Like Grandma. The bakery specializes in homemade cakes and cupcakes made using traditional techniques, with signature offerings that include Red Velvet cupcakes, 5-Flavored pound cake, Carrot cake, and Italian Creme cake alongside a full menu of custom-order desserts. Customers can order a 10-inch 3-layer ice cream cake for $125, a 10-inch 2-layer cake for $65, a standard pound cake for $65, a 10-inch 3-layer cake for $80, a dozen standard cupcakes for $47, or a dozen petite cupcakes for $26. Favor Desserts builds custom cakes for weddings, birthday parties, family reunions, and church banquets, and also hosts cupcake-decorating parties for celebrations. Because of recent increases in the cost of eggs, the bakery has had to raise some prices, a change it has been transparent about with customers. The shop is open Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed Sundays during the summer season. The bakery is currently hiring for a part-time baker position, reflecting ongoing demand for its scratch-made desserts. Customers can place orders or ask questions by calling (919) 908-9264 or emailing [email protected], and can follow the bakery on Instagram, Facebook, Yelp, and Twitter for updates on new flavors, press mentions, and seasonal specials.

Favor Desserts was founded in July 2004 in Durham, North Carolina, by Master Baker Keijuane Hester, who set out to create desserts just like grandma used to make, rooted in traditional from-scratch baking rather than shortcuts or trends. Over two decades the bakery has built its reputation on scratch-made cakes and pastries, becoming known locally for signature items like Red Velvet cupcakes and specialty pound cakes, and growing into a full-service dessert shop that now serves the Triangle from its South Alston Avenue location.
