Raised vegan by my Jamaican mother out in the midwest, she recognized in me a deep fascination in the making of food and wonderfully stoked that fire from a young age. One of my earliest memories is standing on a chair to help her fill and fold danish pastries into lil square flowers. ^_^ 90s era veganism was basically from-scratch era veganism, and so my mom and I made most everything ourselves, either out of necessity or curiosity, and it was a culinary experience I always delighted in.
Fast forward to almost a decade ago and I’ve dedicated a lot of my free moments to the making and sharing of food with friends, food always being my love language. After teaching myself different things over the course of my life I got jazzed bout learning cake baking and decor. And as all other food joys of mine, these first cakes were of course shared. And somehow from that I’ve managed to build this and it’s still really quite surreal!
I’ve had this business for over 6 years now, and after doing a lot of successful markets and popups and taking custom cake orders the past few years I found myself on the ugly side of burnout. I’m currently chasing whatever brings back that joy and motivation and that’s currently WEDDING CAKES! So grateful to have this path, these opportunities, to be part of something so special. So thankful for every couple’s trust!!!
big fan of cake since i was a bb!
