WHO WE ARE

Alexis Ong has been in love with desserts since she was a little girl. She grew up idolizing Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes, helping her older sister make coconut macaroons, baking chocolate chip cookies with her cousin, and curiously rifling through her aunt's box of dried royal icing roses.

It was in high school that Alexis's love for cake decorating really took off. She attended a beginner's decorating course hosted by her local craft store at 11 years old and has been addicted to the craft ever since. Later in her high school years, Alexis slowly turned her little hobby into a career. She began selling her cakes to teachers and friends, and quickly, word spread. Alexis was soon referred to as "the girl who makes cakes!" By the time she was a senior in high school she was making two cakes a week.

After graduation, Alexis moved to New York City to attend the Parsons School of Design for communication design. It was the wrong fit, and she promptly left after one semester to follow her true passion for pastry arts. Her first job in NYC was as a decorator in a little cupcake bakery called Butter Lane Bakery where she was eventually promoted to general manager. It was here where she honed her skills and speed, perfected the basics, and challenged her creativity.

While working, she attended the Institute of Culinary Education. In 2018, she graduated with a diploma in Pastry and Baking Arts and was awarded the Top Toque award for the highest academic achievement in her class.
​

Today, Alexis still lives in New York City where she continues to bake and create beautiful cakes and cookies for your special events. She is immensely grateful for every single one of her clients and supporters who have been with her on this unexpected journey. Whether you have been here from the beginning or you're just finding out about us now, we are so grateful to invite you into our little community!
