he husband-and-wife team that has been providing the island’s hoi polloi with custom cakes since opening Nantucket Cake Company in 1984 owns a retail bakery now, too—Petticoat Row Bakery—where even commoners can enjoy sweet treats, and has expanded its menu to include such things as cupcakes, Danish, macaroons, and petit fours, all made in the kitchen right upstairs.
