Custom Cakes by Lori

MY STORY

My journey into cake decorating started with my oldest daughter's first birthday cake. I wanted to create something really special to mark her first year so I made a "healthy" carrot cake in the shape of a lady bug. I don't think my daughter even had a bite of it and it was pretty goofy looking  but it sure gave me a craving to create more cakes. Each year I would look forward to creating something special for my kid's birthdays. And with each year I would give myself a new challenge and create a cake even better than the last.

 

Not too long ago I started filling orders and creating fun and amazing cakes for other people.  I have found it to be such a thrill to be able to marry my passion for baking with my fine art skills. While I was traditionally trained in printmaking/studio arts at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, my skills as a baker were acquired while working eight years at Terra Breads in Vancouver.
