Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m the heart and hands behind the sugar artistry and cake designs you see here. My journey into the world of baking and pastry arts began after completing SAIT's Baking & Pastry Arts program in 2011. What started as a love for baking quickly evolved into a passion for sugar artistry, where my interior design background and love for handcrafted details naturally melded together.

Over the years, I've honed my skills by studying with some of the best sugar artists in the world, and it wasn’t long before I began crafting my own sugar flowers and edible art. What started as a hobby has now blossomed into a full-fledged creative venture that fills my life with both sweetness and purpose.

As a mother of two young boys, I find endless inspiration in the everyday joys and chaos of family life. My sons are my biggest source of motivation, fueling my creative designs and the concepts I bring to life in sugar and cake.

Baking is more than just a craft to me – it’s my outlet, my passion, and my way of connecting with others. I love collaborating with local Calgary artists to create something truly special, whether it’s a sugar arrangement that complements your cake, or a full design that brings your vision to life.

I look forward to working with you to create your next sugar arrangement, custom cake design, or sweet treat. Let’s make something beautiful together!
