Reia bakes, Steven does everything else, and the case fills up with White Velvet, Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cake and the 10 Layer Chocolate. Pick a slice, or take a whole cake home.
The 10 Layer Chocolate, by the slice
Like our treats, Layers is homemade. Cakes are sold by the slice or whole, so a favorite slice can go home as a full cake.
The lineup changes through the week, so these are the flavors you’ll find in rotation. We post the case on Facebook and Instagram, and if the post is up, the cake is still available.
Want a whole cake? Call us at (478) 391-4818 or send us a message.
Visit Macon’s Great Macon Baking Week puts local bakeries and restaurants head to head for the title of Macon’s Star Baker, one showstopper each, with participants voting for their favorite. We took first place the first year it ran, and again the year after.
First Great Macon Baking Week
Three layers of Reia’s white velvet cake with white chocolate mocha buttercream over and between the layers. A taste and texture most like a petite four.
“It looks like a white wedding cake. It tastes like a chocolate cake.”
Steven Collins, speaking to 41NBC, July 2023
Second year, second win
Our Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cake took the Star Baker title in 2024, out of fifteen local bakeries and restaurants.
“Overall, our business tripled during the week!”
Steven Collins, to Visit Macon after the first Baking Week
Layers is a family-owned bakery run by husband and wife Steven and Reia Collins. Reia does the baking. Steven does everything else.
We opened the storefront at 3001 Vineville Avenue in February 2023, and within a few months our White Velvet Cake was crowned Macon’s first Star Baker.
“Instead of just visiting a bakery, they were participating in a project, a quest to determine just what Macon restaurants had to offer!”

“My first time here, and let me just say, Mr. Steve was so sweet! He lit up every single time a customer walked in. He even offered me a sample, and it was delicious! The staff was very friendly, and there were so many options to choose from. I ended up getting a strawberry crunch slice and two pecan slices, which were absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is very family-oriented, and you can truly feel the warmth and kindness as soon as you walk in. I’ll definitely be back! ❤”
“I forgot to provide a review. I love layers! That white velvet cake is amazing! I bought the pecan cheesecake and it was great but that white velvet cake was again amazing! What's better than their food? Their customer service! I'm extremely introverted by nature and 8 didn't know how to respond to their great customer service which happened immediately upon me walking in the door! They need more business so that they can be open more days!”
“Worth every calorie! I tried the lemon blueberry cake and the blueberry cheesecake cookies. Yes and yes. It was a hard choice because there are plenty of options! So yes I am going back to try others. The customer service is top notch plus! Worth the trip for sure! Thanks Layers for an amazing experience and I will be back!”
“First time visiting layers and I will definitely return! The customer service we received as soon as we entered the bakery was like no other. I hate I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name, but his energy and kindness was felt throughout the entire interaction. I got the key lime cheesecake and it was delicious.”
“If you’re having a bad day, this is the place to go! They are so sweet and uplifting and of course sweets are always uplifting. The strawberry lemonade cookie is the best! So fluffy and soft and great flavor. I will definitely be coming back! Thank y’all! 💕”
