Patty-Cakes Traditions Since 1946
Since 1946, the Patty‑Cakes® International tradition has delighted thousands of families across the nation with gifts of beautifully handcrafted bronzed hand and foot impressions unique to each baby, child, and pet. Patty-Cakes of St. Louis can do the same for you.
Our family of unique gifts has expanded, offering the timeless tradition of bronzed hands, feet, and baby shoes, as well as many shadowbox options and mementos such as paperweights and plaques. We now offer a full line of Patty‑Paws® pet keepsakes for your furry family members too. We want you to preserve this moment in time forever and enjoy your Patty-Cakes and Patty-Paws for a lifetime.
Handcrafted in the USA
With Patty‑Cakes, no detail is left to chance – your baby’s hands and feet are bronzed with antique brass or silver and handcrafted by our American artisans using a 35-step process that provides unmatched quality.
If your due date is fast approaching, you’ve just welcomed your precious addition, or you’re looking for a gift, it’s never too early or too late to schedule your Patty‑Cakes appointment. Due to the intricate nature of our handcrafting, it can approximately 12 weeks for your finished Patty‑Cakes to arrive.
If there is a possibility that your Patty-Cakes or Patt-Paws won't be finished in time for the birthday, celebration, or holiday, we offer a stylish Certificate of Purchase that you can give to your loved one to let them know it is on its way.
So Why Choose Patty-Cakes of St. Louis?
We are a dedicated mother-daughter team, Linda Otto and Karen Herbig, who purchased the business in 2017 to ensure this long-standing tradition remains in St. Louis and Central Missouri.
We wanted to be sure other families could still get the same delight we get from our own Patty‑Cakes and take every measure possible to provide the service you deserve for such an important moment in time.
3 Generations of Patty-Cakes
Our family is a third-generation customer bringing Patty‑Cakes to your door and into your hearts. Linda and Karen’s Patty‑Cakes were completed as infants, and Linda’s grandchildren are the third generation with Patty‑Cakes. These truly special, one-of-a-kind bronzed baby keepsakes are priceless heirlooms that bring joy year after year.
