About
Hello, and thanks for stopping by! The best way to celebrate is usually with a cake. My base starting price is $150. Tastings start at $60 for three sample cakes, $90 for 6 flavor sample cakes. Plus a delivery fee. I can only do tastings for orders starting at over $500. I do not do private lessons; baking takes hours and ends up being a full day event. I'm a culinary school graduate with over 10 years of restaurant experience, and over 15 years with specialty cake and dessert experience. I love to bake with fresh, organic, ingredients, and to experiment with new flavors, textures, and cuisines to keep it interesting and to challenge myself. My first and biggest passion is for baking and desserts! I make one of a kind, boutique cakes that can't be found in a store. I absolutely love making cakes: Wedding, birthday, anything really. From simple elegance to elaborate carved and sculpted cakes. I really enjoy doing table-scapes and dessert bars/buffets with lots of variety as well. Weddings can be such a hit with something as simple as a show stopper of a dessert bar! I have an eye for detail and design and think a table can make quite the statement with the right flowers, colors and props. I charge delivery fees for cakes based on per mile or time, which ever is less. Base delivery starting fee is $50. My base starting price for cakes is $150. Happy Eating - Chef K 🍾🍰

Kristen exceeded my expectations on this cake. When a 7 year old wants a snake cake and reputable bakeries around town wouldn’t make one, I reached out to Kristen and she never hesitated on committing to the job. She did a phenomenal job and everyone was asking who did the cake. He was definitely a happy 7 year old at his party and so excited to see his snake cake. Kristen is now our go to for all cake needs.

We got cupcakes and brookies from Kirsten for our wedding recently. Working with Kirsten was amazing!!! She asked for our ideas on what we wanted, but we also loved getting her input on everything. She was very responsive throughout the entire process and flexible as we made a few changes to the amount we needed. And the cupcakes/ brookies were delicious!! The cupcakes turned out beautiful and we loved Kirsten’s idea of making them into different flowers. This fit perfectly with our wedding decor. Our guests devoured everything and raved about the different flavors. Thank you, Kirsten, for making this process so easy and fun. Highly recommend working with Kirsten and having her as the baker for your event!

Had a birthday cake made for my wife. The fondant work was great. The flavor was an earl gray tea with berry filling. Not to sweet. It was perfect!!! We will be using this baker again for the baby shower!!! Thanks so much for making a virtual birthday a fun time!!!
