Missing bits and pieces, but you should get the general idea of what I'm trying to do...

I dont like the random floating facebook thing to the right. It annoys me.

You really need to sort out the anchor highlight onClick - ever cake I look at has two dashed lines crossing it. Very messy. Also - why do these cake images not have some kdin of description? Sure, they look tasty, but is it not a bit of a leap to go from image to order without anything else?
Drop shadow from main area is .. not nice. In fact - hint of 'book' with leaves on right hand side, is clumsy and aimless - i'd just go with the light grey keyline and be done with trying to make it look like 'pages'.
"The pie's Gay Cousin"? I'm fairly liberal but even I can appreciate that's a *bit* contentious.
Overall, I think it's almost really great, but the above quibbles coupled with the confusing nav hierachy make me think you need to get out of the box you've got yourself into and get some external perspective.
And yeah - facebook-styled 'like' button looks nasty there.

Your cakes don't cast shadows? Spooky!

I'm having issues with the style of the "container" which looks very reserved and clean and the "content" which looks more tabloid magazine. It feels like they are conflicting to me.
I like the way the site works, I might consider adding the work "view" above "cheesecake, tarts... menu. When I first saw it I though it was already displaying the menu which seemed incomplete.

- can you explain why you'd remove the "home" button?fowleryo
- The "Immaculate Confections" logo serves as your "home button" and 99% of end-users will know that...utopian
- ah, the home button on the strip just takes you back to the section home. or does that seem redundant with the links on the left?fowleryo

The image of the mile high coconut cream pie nearly made me blow a load...
This is a good thing and will improve sales...
Good hustle on that and removing the facebook "look at me" element...

Maybe you're in the middle of working on this but i dont like how it fades out as a transition but doesn't fade in when you get to a diff section. Either use the transition on both sides or get rid of it altogether.

Looks good. I find the main image section a little busy/overpowering - with the pink background, the large images and the large text. Maybe reudce the size of the large white script headers? The text looks a bit forced into the available space.
Any site that has a section called 'Immaculate Tarts' is on to a winner.
- I agree with the bright pink. I would like to see a 'softer' bg color maybe...OSFA

The word immaculate is on the home page seven times, A bit repetitive eh?
