Hi, my name is Erica!

This sounds crazy, but I've wanted to be a chef since I was 14 years old. I started out making terrible apple pies that even my family wouldn't eat. 

Fast forward a few years, I did the culinary thing, went to pastry school and now my family eats my stuff.

All joking aside, I love what I do. I get to make  beautiful cakes for really important things- like, life-changing things. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and anything else that calls for a celebration. 

I'm in my thirties, happily married to the smartest and coolest guy and we own this business together. We can guarantee that every treat we make for you is filled with yummy stuff and with a little bit of ourselves poured in.
