Hi, I'm Courtney!
a self-taught baker, obsessed with cake! I long ago ditched box cake mixes in pursuit of melt-in-your mouth, to-die-for flavor combinations, fillings and textures. I believe cake must be decadent, life-changing and worthy of celebration. And I believe anyone should be able to bake that kind of cake, including you!
I didn’t bake my first cake from scratch until I was 26, when my son turned one. It looked like a big brown mound with sprinkles and a candle – honestly, a train-wreck, but it tasted delicious and I was hooked! Over the last nine years, I’ve taught myself the dos and don’ts of baking cakes through a lot of trial and error. Now, I want to share the simple basics that look impressive, but are easy to master. My goal is to inspire you to give baking from scratch a try. I’m all about, if I can do it, you can too!
For nearly a decade, I’ve been teaching private cake baking and decorating classes in my home, at Orson Gygi in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Youtube, television and in conferences around the country. Now, I’m coming to your kitchen!
That’s right, your kitchen! YOU are my inspiration for my product line and online cake courses. It may be a long time coming before you can join me in Salt Lake for a class at Orson Gygi, but I can join you right now, at your house, at your convenience!
With the online cake courses, my cake decorating tools, my delicious and easy-to-follow recipes, I'll be with you every step of the way.See you in the kitchen!
XO,
Courtney
