My Story
I'm Jenn, often affectionately referred to as "the cake lady." I am a self-taught cake artist living and working in downtown NYC. I have never been to pastry school nor have I ever worked in a professional bakery. Like many hobby bakers and artists, I learn everything I know from trial and error and what I can find on the internet. I quit my job in advertising almost 20 years ago and have been baking and decorating cakes out of my modest NYC kitchen ever since.
​
​I do it all, from designing, baking, sculpting, and decorating, to specialty figure modeling and sugar work. I am constantly learning new skills to help make my client's outrageous cake dreams come true! I have been featured on Disney+, The Food Network, and Hulu, and have worked behind the scenes on cake projects for Amazon Prime, Netflix and Roku.
As a mom of a highly-allergic child, I am also committed to making cakes that are as safe as possible for people with nut allergies. I intimately understand the dangers of nut allergy cross-contamination, and make every possible effort to ensure my cakes can be safely enjoyed by those who often have very limited options when it comes to specialty deserts.​
Don't Let The Name Fool Ya
Not everything I do is 'itty bitty.' In fact, over the last decade or so, many projects I've worked on have been larger than life. I've created large-scale event installations for corporate clients, edible sculptures for TV cake competition shows, PR projects with multiple mini desserts for press events, and faux/prop cakes for TV and film production.
Thanks to decades working on the account side of advertising and marketing before becoming a full-time cake artist, I am a highly-skilled project manager with a keen eye for detail, a proactive planner and creative problem solver. There's no request we can't find a way to accomplish with the right team, time, and resources. My unique combination skills ensures every project—large or small— is a stress-free collaboration that culminates in a final product that is on time, in budget and exceeds all expectation.​
