A teen w/a sweet tooth and a mission to raise $ for area nonprofits through baked goods which are whimsical, unique, locally sourced, organic / fair trade wherever possible And DELICIOUS. What began as a bake stand to raise funds for Neville House at Midcentral Community Action, has grown into a cottage industry passion with 20% of all profits going towards area non-profit organizations. I view cake making as an art form and it is evident in some of my whimsical designs where cakes appear to be garden scenes or abstract works of art. Our family only eats sweets at celebrations and I believe each cake should be EPIC ... we are making memories more than making a dessert. As I utilize baking as a form of social justice, I only utilize the freshest organic fair trade ingredients from local sources whenever possible. This is made possible through direct relationships with area farmers, apiaries, orchards, brewers and homesteads ... each cake comes with a detailed list of the producers who assisted in its creation. Why is your mom covered in frosting? Because she is awesome and she is usually covered in frosting, or sauce or flour or some other ingredient because she is pretty much always cooking something... I think it has something to do with her being Italian and a food snob. She also does most of my dishes and clean up, calls and confirms every order, and delivers each cake as I still can not drive. Do you have a cake portfolio? I began a cake portfolio in May of 2016 and you can view it online at https://www.unpezzoditorta.com
What is the favorite cake you have ever made? My S'mores cake and my Vanilla Cardamom and Brandy are tied. How many cakes do you make each week? I accept between 2-5 custom orders each week dependent upon how in-depth the design work is? How far in advance should I contact you? Usually a week in advance. Holidays and Graduation days tend to fill months in advance.
