UPDATE: Here’s the press release…

DECATUR, Ga. Sept. 1, 2009 – Decatur just got a little bit sweeter. Piece of Cake, Atlanta’s largest cake company, today opened a new store in Decatur.

Located at 307-A East College Ave., Piece of Cake’s new Decatur store is the company’s third retail location in metro Atlanta. Other stores are located at 3215 Roswell Road in Buckhead and 10971 Crabapple Road, Suite 1300 in Roswell. The Decatur shop is located near the intersection of East College Avenue and South Candler Street, next door to the children’s boutique Wiggle.

“We’ve been looking at Decatur for a long time and have seen an increase in customers from that area at our other stores,” said Melissa Bunnen, founder of Piece of Cake. “Decatur is a special, close-knit community, and we’re really looking forward to being part of it. We feel like Piece of Cake will be a great fit.”

With his general nonchalance and third-person speak, Winnona Park Stud mentioned in a previous post…

Winona Park Stud noticed that the “For Lease” sign is gone from the old Victory Vintage space on the corner of College and S. Candler. Piece of Cake Bakery is opening next door, but doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the old VIctory space – anyone know what’s up?

A check of their website confirms that Piece of Cake is opening in Decatur early next month.

The bakery currently has two other metro locations: Buckhead and Roswell.  Piece of Cake is probably the best-known Atlanta cakery.  Getting them into the Trackside strip is a big get for the city.
