1st birthday cake 🐷🎂

Two tiers — 6” & 3”.
Pink vanilla cake with apricot Italian buttercream.

All piping done in Italian buttercream for that soft, classic finish.
They added the cutest little pig topper to tie it all together.

Simple. Sweet. So fun to celebrate the big ONE. 💕

Octopus cake for my daughter’s 17th birthday 🐙🎂
Still wild to say she’s 17.

And somehow, in over 15 years of making cakes, this was my first octopus.

She loves keeping the figures from her cakes, so I built this one to last. The octopus is made from rice krispy treats, supported with wire, and covered in fondant so she can save it.

Chocolate brownie cake with milk chocolate ganache. Shared with friends and a lot of laughter.

Learned a lot making this. I already know what I’d do differently next time. That’s the point of trying new things. You refine as you go.

These are the cakes that mean the most. 💛

🧁 I don’t have all the answers.

But I’ve lived this bakery life long enough to see the patterns.

The early confusion.
The underpricing.
The burnout.
The growth.
The rebuild.

I’ve run a home bakery, farmers markets, storefronts, commercial kitchens.
I’ve had wins. I’ve closed doors. I’ve started again.

And what I know now is this:

Most bakers don’t need hype.
They need clarity.
Structure.
Community.
Honest conversations.

That’s why I built Bakers Collective.

It’s free to join.
It’s organized.
It’s practical.
It’s built from lived experience — not theory.

Inside, you’ll find real systems, real recipes, real business lessons, and space to connect with other bakers who are figuring it out too.

I believe in:
Courage to try.
Action toward what you want.
Kindness — especially toward yourself.
Energy. Protect that. It’s your fuel.

If you’re serious about baking — and serious about building something steady — come join us.

No ego. No pressure. Just real work and real support.

Cake for NuSkin’s book release celebration 📘🎂

Congrats to Joseph Chang on the launch!

Vanilla cake with vanilla Italian buttercream.
Covered in fondant with an edible image book cover and finished with piped buttercream details.

50 servings of yum.

Huge thank you to Melanie for ordering the cake. I’ve known her for many years. She owned a bakery at the same time I had my first storefront, so it meant a lot to create this for her event.

Happy client = happy baker.

Utah County tip: Need an edible print? Macey’s will scan and print one for about $8. Bring your image. Many grocery stores offer this, so it’s worth asking. Much easier than owning a printer unless you’re printing often and maintaining it regularly.

2014 & 2015 – Indie Film Lounge at Sundance Film Festival 🎬🎂

My Aunt Cathy helped land this opportunity for me, and I was so grateful to create these cakes.

Both were film-themed and almost entirely edible. The film strips were made from sugar paper and hand-painted to look real. The only non-edible pieces were the film canisters on the cake to the right.

Such a fun challenge and an incredible experience.

These cakes brought great exposure and reminded me how far creativity can take you.

Grateful for the chance to be part of something that big. 🎥✨

2014. Big vision energy. 🚚

Farmers market was going great, so I bought a step van with plans to turn it into a bakery food truck.

Had it painted with Plasti Dip.
Bought a sink and equipment to build it out.

But I couldn’t afford the full conversion.

So it became my farmers market delivery truck every week instead.

Meanwhile, wedding and custom cake orders were growing fast. It became clear I didn’t need wheels… I needed a storefront.

Selling the truck was hard.
But it was the right pivot.

Sometimes the dream shifts.
And that shift is what moves you forward. 🎂

The Mighty Baker logo. 2013. 🔥

Back in 2013, I worked with my friend .tueller to design a few logo concepts. This one was the winner.

The name The Mighty Baker had been around since 2011.
But in 2013, it officially had a face.

I ordered a stamp.
Stamped my own stickers.
Put it on boxes, bags, and anything that left my kitchen.

Very DIY. Very scrappy. Very real.

13 years later, it’s still the mark I stand behind.

Grateful for the start. Grateful it stuck. 🍰

Congrats to my sister-in-law Danielle and Luis on their beautiful wedding day! 💛

I had the honor of making their three-tier cake
6”, 8”, and 10”.

Flavors:
• Banana cake + pineapple Italian buttercream
• Lemon cake + pineapple Italian buttercream
• Banana cake + blueberry Italian buttercream

Fun fact… one tier was supposed to be lemon + blueberry, but I layered it wrong. The combo still worked. Crisis averted. 😅

Covered in fondant with ruffles made from a 50/50 blend of gum paste and fondant. Finished with gold accents and real baby’s breath, stems painted and dotted with gold.

Grateful to be part of such a special day. 🎂✨

Provo Farmers Market. 2013–2014.
22 Saturdays in a row.

It was a whirlwind.
I worked a full-time 9–5 job during the week, then showed up every Saturday to sell. Fridays were pure chaos. Prep for days.

My wife helped make pounds and pounds of cookie dough. So thankful she helped me so much in the beginning of my business. And then the continued support over the coming years.
She and our two daughters would hang out with me at the market. It was truly a family affair. 💛

I learned fast.
Return customers. What sold. What didn’t.
I started marketing custom cakes right from the booth. Photos, conversations, connections.

By 2014, the numbers told the story:
• $15,300 – Custom cakes & dessert catering
• $4,500 – Farmers market sales

I had a website, but most of the business came from showing up consistently for 22 weeks.

That market changed everything. 🎪🍪

Farmers Market Prep. 2013.
Kitchen licensed. Now… everything else.

Menu planning. Booth setup. Strategy.
With absolutely no idea how it would go.

I made my own signage, borrowed a free 10’x10’ tent from my brother, and set up Square so I could take payments. Very DIY.

The first menu?
Cookies. Dutch stroopwafels. Tarts.

Then came testing. And showing up.

I was terrified.
Every week was challenging, exhilarating, and a huge learning experience.

That’s where the real education started. 🍪🎪 remember to go check out the Bakers Collective, online community of bakers of all skills levels. We are up to 45 members, come join us! Link in bio.

Back in 2013.
Freshly licensed. Home kitchen approved. Business officially open.

These cakes were built for a wedding expo at Thanksgiving Point.
Styrofoam cores so they could sit on display all day in a warm room. Practical choices you learn fast.

I loved the styles I chose. I was intentionally trying to do something a little different to catch attention. Looking back, I still do. 👀

The expo itself was a good experience.
Not a flood of immediate bookings, but that’s how exposure marketing works. I expected too much from one event, thinking it would work exactly how I imagined.

It didn’t.
And that was the lesson.

Marketing rarely works on your timeline.
You show up, you learn, you adjust, and you keep going.

Some lessons take years to fully sink in.
Life is real like that.

More from this chapter coming soon. 🎂

LICENSED & OPEN 🧾🍰 This was in 2013.

To sell at the farmers market, I needed a place to bake and a cottage food license.
So I figured out what was required and made it happen.

This home kitchen became my production space.
Here are a couple of the cakes that came out of it. Many more to come.
