Fantastic Cakes Founder Promises Wizardly Custom Creations

When Ashley Lokey held a grand opening for her bakery business in Wildwood during October 2022, more than 300 people showed up and she sold out of everything, twice. “I had to gather all my family to help me in the kitchen with decorating more cupcakes and cinnamon rolls to keep up with the crowd,” she recalls. “It was more than I could’ve ever dreamed. We started taking orders, and the rest is history.”

Fantastic Cakes and Where to Buy Them has operated for the last year in Wildwood at 16962 Manchester Road, but Ashley and her team are navigating another growth phase via relocating to Lake Saint Louis by the end of 2023. Sept. 30 will be the last day of operations at the Wildwood location.

“While our space in Wildwood was a great starting point, we were ready to grow. We looked everywhere in West County. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find a building that worked for our goals,” she stated.

CONTINUED >

For the past year, this West St. Louis County go-getter and her baking team busily provided custom cakes, engagement cakes, bridal shower cakes, wedding cakes and custom cupcakes. They also launched customized "Take The Cake" classes. Kids learn how-to decorating tips for cakes, cupcakes and cookies during the children’s classes; adult classes were modeled after fun, relaxing paint and sip parties. TTC classes are held three times a week, alternating classes for age groups. Private classes also are available, and have been hosted for birthday parties, girl scouts and team-building office events. Ashley assures they intend to bring back the popular TTC summer camps in 2024. There are two tiers of class memberships for both children and adults to accommodate various interests and frequencies.

Ashley says the envisioned, future production kitchen will be three times larger, enabling them to ship out baked goods. They'll also have a dedicated party and classroom space equipped with a wine/beer bar. “We’ll have a new, updated menu full of old favorites and some exciting new updates,” she adds.

The Fantastic Cakes team offers traditional cake flavors from their custom order menu, as well as more unusual ones, such as German chocolate, lemon, carrot or coconut. They also provide a wide selection of items including scones, muffins, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, macaroons and their version of cinnamon rolls, which is a family tradition recipe that's been modified for the bakery. "Many days, the cinnamon rolls sell out early in the morning," confirms Ashley.

Gluten- and dairy-free menu options also are available.

When Ashley reflects, she says she has at least two reasons to marvel at the bakery’s success. First, she never thought she’d

be baking and decorating cakes for a living: “From as young as I could remember, I wanted a career in fashion.” After getting a fashion degree and while working in a related management role, this baker says in her free time at-home she was baking for others, getting five to six cake orders a week.

“I absolutely fell in love [with baking]. I was always finding cakes that would help me learn as a decorator, and became head-overheels for a career I could never have envisioned for myself,” she adds.

Secondly, however, a horrific car accident involving her family during October 2021 left her with a broken femur, hip shoulder, ribs and a kneecap in 34 pieces. She says, “I was in a very bad place, unsure of if I’d ever be able to get back to my career, if I would ever be able to stand on my feet like I used to, and unable to take care of my newborn baby without assistance. It was painful, heartbreaking and the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. My family was amazing through all of this, and I could never have pulled through without them. I made a speedier recovery than I could’ve imagined.”

Harry Potter fans can rejoice, too, at Fantastic Cakes, which sports a magical theme beyond the name. They sell HP merchandise, such as cropped sweatshirts, swish and flick spoons, character earrings, and a line of candles named after the HP characters and Hogwarts Houses, making the business the perfect destination for fulfilling magical needs.

THE BRASS RAIL STEAKHOUSE

Brass-Rail-Take On St. LouisStyle Gooey Butter Cake One Of Several New Menu Items For Fall

The Brass Rail Steakhouse continues to thrive at 4601 Highway K.

Not only did the transition go smoothly in the spring of 2022 when April and Ryan Hammer took over ownership of The Brass Rail in O’Fallon, Missouri, the neighborhood steakhouse loved by locals and newcomers alike is growing; and its new menu items have guests asking for more.

“So many times, guests worry about menu or service changes when there's new ownership,” April says. “The Brass Rail was a success story long before we arrived, and we intend for that standard to advance into the future. We waited several quarters

before making any additions or changes to the menu. Our guest service is outstanding. Just ask our regulars. Many loyal guests come in for their favorite bartender or server, and they’re willing to wait extra time just for that server.”

Veteran St. Louis hospitality general manager Jamie Plohr oversees the TBR service team.

It's no secret that The Brass Rail, famous for its scratch-made foods and specialty drinks, sells hundreds of pounds of steak each week. But the steakhouse also sells some 15,000 wings per month. “They are insanely good with or without their delicious sauces,” says April.

A few exciting additions to the already beloved menu should have guests asking for new favorites. The Brass Rail staff already offered a diverse salad menu for its power lunch crowd, but this summer they introduced a summer berry salad that was hugely popular. “No contest, it was hands-down the best-selling salad of summer,” April adds. “Our menu now offers a new, scrumptious

fall salad that leaves you begging for more. It’s fun finding that special mix of ingredients that seals the deal of incredible flavor.”

Also “new-ish” to the menu is a Brass-Rail-take on St. Louisstyle gooey butter cake, April says. “This is our own house recipe, and it’s unbelievably good.”

Patron Wendi Adams had nothing but kudos for The Brass Rail in her on-line restaurant review, including the gooey butter cake. “Every entrée was perfect,” she wrote. “A creative take on gooey butter cake was the high point of our meal. The pastry chef’s own recipe features a moist, buttery flavored concoction that absolutely melts in the mouth.”

The Brass Rail team also enjoyed the success of a new Southwest burger this summer. Now the steakhouse offers a TBR burger special that rotates between a variety of popular burger creations—one of which is the bacon jam cheeseburger. And yes, that means jam as in jelly, and there’s peanut butter, too.

CONTINUED >

Another new main entrée is the TBR bourbon-glazed pork ribeye. With tremendous, juicy flavor, the ribeye found its permanent place on the menu after selling out as a special within a couple of hours.

Signature items at The Brass Rail include the Cajun chicken pasta, steakloaf and Mediterranean chicken. However, the steakhouse is most famous for, of course, its hand-cut, wet-aged steaks. “Investing in a high-quality beef product differentiates from most steakhouses. Aging allows time for the muscle fibers to break down making our steaks more flavorful and more tender,” Ryan says. “Marinades and tenderizers do not do this, only time.”

While most guests know The Brass Rail for their generous and tasteful entrees, bourbon connoisseurs know TBR for their deep bourbon selection with a variety of allocated options, such as Blanton’s, Eagle Rare and Weller.

Additionally, The Brass Rail is considered to be a perfect place to relax with family friends or colleagues and enjoy a

wonderful handcrafted meal in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. But it also offers a large variety of full-service catering packages in a wide-catering radius of 30 miles in any direction of the restaurant.

Ryan says his more than two decades in the hospitality industry before purchasing The Brass Rail taught him that “loyalty is everything and trying to make guests' visits special. It’s so much more rewarding to keep a guest than to find a new one. The food has to be on point, obviously. You have to be well-rounded and have the right product, but we want guests to feel like this is a place they can call home. That’s our value proposition: great food coupled with attentive service.”

Shared Office & Event Space

The Commons In New Town Is Where People Create, Collaborate And Celebrate

Now's a great time to 'Become a Commoner.' For those seeking a celebration space or a handy, flexible serviced office with a community atmosphere through which to network, share resources and build relationships, look to The Commons in the business district of New Town in St. Charles.

This 'go-to hub' location at 3324 Rue Royale features private offices and shared workspaces for entrepreneurs, freelance professionals and remote workers.

"The Commons is a fun, yet professional, collaborative space providing a cost-effective and efficient way to work and grow," says owner Paul Dinkins. "We also have an event room that non-members can book for private or corporate events."

Paul says their location is situated in the heart of a bustling business district surrounded by an array of amenities. "Lakeside walking paths, restaurants, bars, service businesses and retail shops are just a stone's throw away, providing convenience and a vibrant atmosphere for working or your event."

Within The Commons space itself, members can leverage print, shipping and mailbox services; meeting rooms; a shared kitchen; complimentary coffee and tea; and free parking.

Per month memberships range from $35-$375 for workspaces and $500-$1,100 for private offices. Jill Rogers, manager of The Commons, says single-day passes are available from $20-$50 per day. She says meeting and event space can be secured at $25-$75 per hour. Virtual office accommodations also can be made.

Paul says that those who've become members of The Commons reveal that they've increased productivity and boosted creativity. "They enjoy getting out of their own bubble to connect with others and having all of the flexibility in arrangements that we offer."

For special events, the audio-equipped space can seat up to 40 participants. It also has an attached deck. A full kitchen, with catering options and servers, is available, too.

The Commons team just celebrated their one-year business anniversary.

Liston Design Build

LOCAL AWARD-WINNING HOME REMODELING EXPERTS HELP THEIR CLIENTS FALL IN LOVE WITH COOKING, GATHERING AND ENTERTAINING

"What we've learned from the last few years, it’s that your home is your safe haven. And your life revolves around your home—your most prized possession,” says Jeanne Liston. “You want, and deserve, for your home to be the absolute best it can be.”

And kitchens are the best place to start. They are where people gather, cook for family and entertain guests. And most importantly, kitchens are where memories are made with families. The Listons help their clients fall in love with at-home cooking, gathering and entertaining, through their top-quality design, building and remodeling skills.

Jeanne and her husband, Keith Liston, own Liston Design Build, a company started by Keith’s father, Mike Liston, in 1984 as a one-man operation with a “no-job-is-too-small” approach to home remodeling. Keith joined his dad in 1986 and took the helm in 2009.

Keith and Jeanne’s daughter, Andrea Liston-Jones, one of the couple’s four children, joined the business in 2016 and is now the director of design. Their son-in-law, Scott Weaver, is the company’s director of production.

Located in St. Charles, Missouri, Liston Design Build services clients throughout St. Louis and St. Charles Counties. The third-generation company has both the experience and depth needed to turn homes into ideal spaces for those who live there. “We work with clients from start to finish,” Jeanne says. “Clients are paired with their own dedicated designer who works closely with them during the development and selection phase and creates 3-D renderings of their new spaces. Then, we employ our own craftsmen who bring their visions to life.”

As the company enters its 40th year in operation, it’s easy for Jeanne to reflect on how much has changed in their business in four decades.

While their services have stayed the same, the Listons affirm they've committed to a “personalized, concierge approach” in recent years. Jeanne says most of the company’s work involves a total renovation of spaces “to allow for the better function, flow and design aesthetic” of the client’s home. And since the kitchen is the center of the home, the remodel typically revolves around that space. Homeowners want a large center island, functional storage solutions, updated appliances and quartz countertops, just to name a few. They want a space that wows, Jeanne says.

“Being able to gather around an island and move to the adjoining living room while engaging the overall gathering area is a big part of providing both function and form for the entire family,” she adds.

The Liston team is often engaged to rework kitchens or bathrooms for lower overall maintenance and/or aging in place.

Other times, clients may want the perfect finished basement and bar area to allow for entertaining. The Listons say clients’ needs and lifestyles are all taken into consideration when positioning everything from major appliances and work spaces to lighting, seating and specialty appliances.

"The kitchen’s relationship to surrounding rooms is driving many of the trends, but kitchen design is still about matching your space to your lifestyle," Jeanne says.

Whether it be through extending a kitchen’s reach so the spaces flow into each other through aesthetics and functionality, expanding windows, adding a center island and cabinets along with subdued, clean-looking countertops

in soft muted shades, concealing storage and appliances, or selecting range alternatives, the latest in kitchen design reflects the homeowner’s love of the kitchen.

She says she understands the difficulty involved with change. “It’s scary to take on a remodel, to allow someone into your home to basically tear it apart and rebuild it. So, we work with you from start to finish so you can be assured that the end result is going to be exactly what you envisioned it would be. You want your home to reflect your lifestyle and your traditions.”

“The kitchen’s relationship to surrounding rooms is driving many of the trends, but kitchen design is still about matching your space to your lifestyle.” ~Jeanne Liston

NUTRITION STOP TEAM PROVIDES HEALTHY INSIGHTS, HOLISTIC PRODUCTS AND NONSTOP INSPIRATION

"If you can't pronounce an ingredient on a food label, then don't eat it. It's not food," declares Ryan Mustone, Nutrition Stop co-owner/store manager. "More and more consumers are seeking food and items to support natural lifestyles or improve health conditions. We've earned a regional reputation of being 'the' place to go to for personalized, holistic health care and affordable organic food, including grass-fed meat, seafood, microgreens and fresh, medicinal mushrooms."

Although the store's been open since 1986, Ryan says he took over ownership two years ago, and has been curating a regenerative lifestyle center. "We built relationships with many new, like-minded natural product vendors so we could add fresh options. Our shoppers share that they trust us due to our knowledge and integrity, along with the helpful experiences they get here."

Store products at 4101 Mexico Road, Suite K, in St. Peters range from finely curated vitamins, supplements, organic wine, clean spirits and sports/ fitness protein powders to pet care products, organic groceries, local produce and natural body care products. Ryan says most people walk in and comment on how amazing the store smells!

Most of the store's products are intentionally organic/non-GMO with no-additives, and are sugar-free, gluten-free and low-sodium.

Ryan believes people have an innate ability to heal, naturally. He's a dedicated Wim Hof (breathing and cold therapy) practitioner, avid hiker, canoeist, world traveler and family man.

Prior to purchasing Nutrition Stop, Ryan served as a wholesale broker and educator in the natural products industry, servicing 150-plus health food stores across the Midwest for top manufacturers of natural products. He says he has countless hours training directly with top researchers in their respective fields, and has volunteered on organic farms across Hawaii.

"At Nutrition Stop, we vett ingredients. We source local, organic and ethical brands that share our vision to nourish," explains Ryan.

On Oct. 24, a lecture with a Terry Naturally representative will be hosted at the store: Natural Solutions for Heart Health, Blood Sugar, LowerA1C for those dealing with diabetes or wanting to decrease their blood sugar levels through natural solutions. Complimentary yoga classes also are offered Tuesday evenings at 6:40 p.m.

“Every one of our employees is dedicated to supporting individuals seeking to reclaim their health with natural remedies that have been around for generations,” Ryan says.

THE FLAVOR OF FALL

Apples are the trademark fruit of fall, and with the many varieties to choose from, there is an apple that is sure to please any palate. They can be included in both sweet and savory dishes and are delicious and incredibly healthful. We all have heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While they aren’t a cure-all, apples are packed full of polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamin C, B vitamins and fiber. Make the most of autumn’s best produce and the flavors of fall with this simple recipe.

APPLE GALETTE WITH CARAMEL DRIZZLE

Easier than pie but with all the same textures, this gooey warm dessert is sure to please. For simplicity, this can be made with a premade crust.

INGREDIENTS:

Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 1/4 cup iced cold water

Filling:

• 2 apples, peeled and sliced into thin slices

• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• Caramel sauce

• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

INSTRUCTIONS:

Crust:

(Note: If running short on time, store bought crust works great, too.)

Mix flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Cut in the butter. Add water and mix until moistened. Lightly knead the dough and then form into a ball. Next, flatten dough into a thick circular form and refrigerate for one hour.

Filling: Mix the apples, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar together in a bowl.

Assemble and Bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a circle and set on parchment paper. Arrange apples in center of dough, leaving about one inch of space for the edges. Fold crust over the apples and press to seal edges. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with pecans or walnuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve with caramel sauce and ice cream.
