Meet Our Team

Kristen Waldie

Co-Owner

Kristen found a love for baking while making birthday cakes for her 8 children and still stays busy making cakes for her 24 grandchildren. Her lifelong love of cooking makes her cakes uniquely flavorful and her attention to detail creates beautiful and elegant decorations.

Samantha Hildreth

Co-Owner

With her natural artistic talent Samantha always enjoyed crafting colorful creations. She loves putting that creativity towards designing and decorating beautifully detailed cakes and loves the challenge of working with all edible materials.

Kristen and Samantha are a Mother-Daughter team from Phoenix, Arizona. Kristen’s love for cooking and eye for detail caught her friend’s and neighbor’s attention when they saw (and tasted!) the fun and amazing cakes she made for her children’s birthday parties. As the number of requests started piling up she soon realized there was too much to do on her own. Samantha had also found that she had a knack for baking and decided to join her Mom. Together they have over 55 years of experience designing and decorating every kind of cake. From fun and colorful birthday cakes to simple yet elegant wedding cakes. They love seeing someone’s dream become a reality and adding beauty and fun to any occasion.
