My Story
Hello! Thank you for your interest in my work. My name is Mikayla Ballou and I am a self taught home baker located in Bonney Lake, WA. I started teaching myself how to bake when I was 12 years old. The cake to the left was the first cake I ever made that was two tiers, and used fondant. I was so proud of this cake and how it turned out! My passion for baking slowly turned from trying new things for family and friends, to baking for friends of friends, people I had never met, and eventually large weddings.
My skills have come a long way thanks to all of my awesome customers that have given me the chance to try new things, learn from my mistakes, and be creative!! I now mostly work with buttercream with the occasional fondant accent.
I am a third grade teacher by day, and a home baker by nights/weekends/summers! Because I do work a full time teaching job, my cake availablity fills up fast. Please don't hesistate to reach out and see if your event's date is available! Often I can fit in one or two extra orders here and there.
I look forward to being a part of your special event!
