I am a freelance cake designer and baker, available for all of your special events. I specialize in scratch baking new and unique flavors!
Hey there, everyone! My name is Justina, and I've ALWAYS loved to bake. At 16 my Mom bought me my very first cake decorating set, and with those 80+ pieces, I set out to teach myself everything that there was to know about cake design. Not long after, a love for premium ingredients developed as I realized they made a tremendous difference in my product. This wasn't just the esthetic value, but in the taste quality as well! A love was born, and from then on all of my dessert creations were scratch made from the heart. If I wouldn't eat it, how could I dare to let anyone else?!
After realizing my love for mixology while bartending, I began to explore the many pairing possibilities of drinks and desserts, and not only that, but the possibilities of desserts that tasted like our favorite drinks. A margarita cupcake, or maybe a spiked lemonade macaron or a cabernet cupcake with dark chocolate ganache? I've done them all, and they're all fantastic!
In 2012, I used all of my savings to open a bakery in my hometown; Buffalo, NY. I was The Buffalo Cakery. Little did I know at the time, I began a renting relationship with a not-so-caring individual who would leave me high and dry and after 8 months in a position to legally leave my lease, and to leave my negative bank account at a minimal amount.
After 5 years and the knowledge I've gained from my previous experience (DO YOUR RESEARCH ON LANDLORDS!!!) and a fresh perspective on what I want to accomplish (less common every day desserts, and more unique gourmet creations), I'm ready to start again with help from YOU!
My mission is simple; scratch made, delicious, unique and beautiful cakes delivered from me to you!
