At Karolyn's Kakes, creativity, passion, and precision come together to create edible masterpieces. Meet Karolyn, the heart and soul behind the business, whose journey from realtor to renowned cake artist is nothing short of inspiring.
From Realtor to Cake Artist
In 2002, Karolyn was working as a realtor, but her true passion lay in baking. In her spare time, she experimented with cake-making, bringing her creations to the office for colleagues to enjoy. The enthusiastic response was undeniable—people began requesting custom cakes for their special occasions. What started as a hobby soon transformed into a thriving business, and Karolyn's Kakes, LLC was born!
Perfecting the Craft
As demand for her cakes grew, Karolyn dedicated herself to refining her skills. She took online courses, attended professional demonstrations, and traveled across the country to stay up to date with the latest cake decorating trends. Her meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality quickly became her signature, making her cakes not just desserts but works of art. She carefully selected her favorite tools—each one essential in refining every detail, and bringing her sweetest creations to life.
The Buttercream Queen
Karolyn is widely known for her exceptional buttercream skills. Her cakes are so flawlessly iced that many mistake them for fondant! While she primarily works with buttercream, she occasionally uses her homemade marshmallow fondant for sculpted or dark-colored cakes. Her goal is always the same—to create stunning, handcrafted cakes that taste as amazing as they look.
Sharing the Passion
Karolyn doesn’t just create cakes; she also shares her knowledge with aspiring bakers. Through her YouTube channel, she reveals the secrets behind her techniques, helping others on their cake-decorating journey. Her passion for the craft is evident in every video, as she teaches skills and tricks that have taken her years to perfect.
Beyond Baking: A Passion for Yoga
When she's not working on her KAKES, Karolyn embraces another passion—yoga. As a certified yoga instructor, she found strength and healing through the practice during a challenging time in her life. Now, she’s on a mission to help others feel strong and confident. Seeing her students progress and achieve what they once thought was impossible brings her the same joy as creating beautiful cakes.
