From Covid, Came Cakes

Methods: Home baking and hand decorating

Inspiration: I’m a mom of two toddlers and a nurse of 15 years. I started baking fun cakes every year for my kids’ over-the-top, themed birthday parties. Friends began to ask me to bake for them...and I always declined. Baking for other people? Sounds stressful. 

BUT then Covid happened. Parents couldn’t throw their kids a birthday party, but still wanted a way to make it extra special. And that’s where I came in... One day, a friend asked if I would bake a cake for her son’s birthday. He was bummed he couldn’t have a party and she was trying everything to make his birthday as good as any Covid birthday could be. I agreed to bake for him as long as she didn’t mind an OKAYISH cake. And so my business, Okayish Cakes, was born.

The truth is, I’m a perfectionist who makes sure my clients’ cakes are anything BUT okay. I love having this creative outlet, where I get to design, bake, and create something one of a kind for each of my clients. Covid held us back in so many ways, so it's important to also highlight the positive things that came from this pandemic. If it weren’t for Covid, Okayish Cakes wouldn’t exist.
