The baker

Hi, I'm Jennifer

I'm Jennifer, but I'm also known as Jae! I've loved baking for as long as I can remember. I am the baker, owner, and the hands behind every custom cake, cinnamon roll, decorated cookie, macaron, cheesecake, and pie.

Baking isn't just what I do; it's my absolute passion, and there is nothing quite like being part of weddings, birthdays, family gatherings, and everyday celebrations with a custom treat.

I can't wait to bake something special for you and make your day a little sweeter!

Jae

What I bake

Made to order

Everything is baked fresh for your date — never frozen ahead.

Cinnamon rolls

Baked fresh or take and bake at your home.

Decorated cookies

As custom as you'd like.

Macarons

In the flavors and colours your table calls for.

6" or 9" sizes available.

Questions I'm asked most

Do you freeze your cakes?

Never! All cakes are baked fresh prior to your event.

Is gluten free an option?

Yes! Just ask and I'll send over the flavor options.

How is pricing worked out?

All cakes, whether covered in buttercream or fondant, are priced by the slice. Cupcakes are priced per dozen.

Do you offer wedding tastings?

Yes — this is one of the fun parts of wedding planning! Paid tastings come in 3, 6, 9 or 12 flavors, and you get two cupcakes in each flavor you choose.

Do you offer anniversary tiers?

Yes! These are specially priced, with any cake, filling or frosting of your choice.

Do you require a deposit?

For weddings, there's a non-refundable date hold fee of $100.00, applied to your remaining balance, which is due 30 days before your event. For every other order, payment due 2 weeks before pickup date unless otherwise specified.

How much is delivery?

Delivery and setup start at $2.00 per mile from my location.

Do you provide cake stands?

Stand rentals aren't available, but I'm happy to point you somewhere good.

What forms of payment do you accept?

All major credit cards, as well as checks.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — licensed, inspected and insured by the state. I can provide all documentation if you need it.

What if something isn't right?

Please reach out as soon as you can and I'll work with you to make it right.

Custom orders

Tell me your date, roughly how many people you're feeding, and the sort of thing you have in mind — I'll take it from there.
