But perhaps the biggest challenge occurred when Barnes tipped over a two-tiered cake while making a sharp turn on her way to a wedding.

A half-mile away from the delivery point, Barnes rushed back to the bakery, where she and Klamp made an entirely new cake in less an hour — a record time for Butte’s version of “Two Broke Girls.”

When asked what they enjoy about running a bakery, Klamp and Barnes said they like playing a role during special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and weddings.

“Cake is served usually on the happiest and best days of people’s lives,” said Barnes. “And we get to be a part of that.”

One of those special occasions was Renee Grimsrud’s gradation from the Advanced Academy of Highway Patrol. Grimsrud’s husband — who’s a sheriff’s deputy with Jefferson County — surprised her with a cake shaped like a trooper’s uniform.

Grimsrud said she was “extremely surprised” by the cake.

“It was really special to me because of who gave it to me and what it meant to us,” said trooper Grimsrud.

Klamp and Barnes said taking part in graduations and anniversaries is just one of the many perks of the bakery business.
