Add to the Beauty Bakery

Add to the Beauty Bakery is an in-home bakery based out of Kansas City that specializes in custom cakes, pies, and cookies made to order, from scratch, just for you.

Established in 2019.
I have enjoyed baking for family and friends for years. Figuring out new recipes to share with others has always excited me. At the end of 2018 a friend of a friend asked if I would be willing to make and sell them some baked goods for their wedding vow renewal ceremony since they had tasted a number of my homemade items before they decided that they wanted to share those with others. That request ended up opening the door to a number of other cake orders later that year which got me thinking…”Maybe I should just post some of my goods online and see where that goes.” So, in January of 2019 I posted some cakes online and out of that came Add to the Beauty Bakery. (See my Bio page for details.)

One of my favorite songs, a song that I continually return to when I feel overwhelmed with the weight of the world and my impact on it, has a line that says:

“…Like the statue in the park of this war torn town
And its protest of the darkness and this chaos all around
With its beauty, how it matters
How it matters…”

This song speaks about beauty as being simple acts, simple offerings, which, in the moment, can often feel small and inconsequential. However, those tiny feats can sometimes make all the difference for a person.

​So what does all this have to do with baking?

For me, baking has been this offering. It has been a place where I can extend the gift of beauty and intention to the people I care about. And now I would like to share this offering with you by making homemade, from scratch desserts for those you love. Maybe together we can add a little more to the beauty.
