Congratulations M & P, thank you for trusting me with this sugar flower garden! Handmade dahlias, billy balls, cosmos, and button poms cover this buttercream cake with chocolate/cherry/coconut and almond/honey/fig flavors inside.

Hi, it’s Karlie, the face behind the cakes! does it again with these great shots, and with photos of me how about some little tidbits?
I am from Indiana but I lived several places, including internationally, before settling here in Santa Cruz in 2019.
My first speciality cake was for my middle daughter’s 3rd birthday 15 years ago - it was a lady bug cake and it was not great but I was hooked! I continued making cakes for family and friends, teaching myself through YouTube videos and trial and error. I went on to get a job in a bakery where I honed my skills and then started Story Cake Studio in 2021. In my “spare” time I enjoy mountain biking, watching tv, reading, exploring cities, and believe it or not, baking!
My biggest cake disaster was a family wedding - the catering team had to quickly disassembled and slice it before it fell over 🤦🏻‍♀️ I learned the importance of good structure/supports that day!
I have white water rafted on the Nile River 🐊
My favorite flavor from my menu is chai latte, which just happens to be what I am eating in this photo!
TV shows I watch on repeat: Gilmore Girls, New Girl, Glee, Kim’s Convenience
While my style is mostly elegant and floral I really enjoy sculpting and themed cakes (check out my theme/birthday cakes highlight) so if you’re interested in something like that let me know!
Thank you all for coming on this cake journey with me, I love being able to create edible art and share it with this community!
