Thank you for taking the time to visit Sweet Cakes by Erica. My name is Erica Marshall and I am a wife and mother of 2 beautiful children, Alyssa and Christian. Though my two little ones are a handful in themselves, I love experimenting in the kitchen mixing and matching ingredients and creating my own specialty recipes. In my spare time, I also enjoy spending time with friends, family, shopping and working out (good thing because I love to eat).

After an enchanting wedding in Paris, at roughly 40,000 feet in the air, the idea for Frost 321 was born. Founded by a practicing health attorney, Frost 321 is named to reflect the revolutionary process of freezing at -321 degrees Fahrenheit. Frost 321 creates the best-tasting ice creams, sorbets, and cocktails in the most enchanting way possible. Not only is the taste impeccable, but the experience is unforgettable. Created right before your eyes, Frost 321 provides a dessert experience that excites the taste buds and minds of guests, long after they’ve finished their tasty treats.
