Hi & Welcome!

MEET CUSTOM BAKER LEAH FOWLER

Hey there! Thanks for checking out my sweet creations. My name is Leah, and my baking started with very humble beginnings. I'll never forget watching my mother in the kitchen as she whipped up moist, fluffy cakes, perfecting recipes from breads to ice cream. I really do have her to thank for encouraging me to try new things and find creative outlets.

In my teenage years I took Wilton decorating classes and, I was hooked. Not long after, I enrolled in a Hospitality Management and Culinary program. The knowledge, skill and passion that was imparted to me has carried me since. The world of cakes and pastries is ever growing. I'm constantly amazed at what designs can come to life with a little ingenuity. 

My childhood (and life after) has been filled with warm memories of family and food. Through my sweets, I hope to do the same for you. Please enjoy!

Leah
