Head Pastry Chef

Hi I'm Chris and I'm the owner of Brainerd Lakes Cakes! I've been baking for 20+ years and I love making custom cakes and baked treats that bring joy to my customers.

Chris and Brainerd Lakes Cakes are truly amazing!

From our initial contact to discuss the vision for our wedding cake to the personalized cake tasting and the cake cutting on our special day, everything was perfect. Chris asked all the right questions, shared incredible insights, and brought our dream cake to life with a masterpiece we had only imagined.

Our wedding cake was a heavenly creation—an Earl Grey tea cake with semi-naked lavender frosting and real raspberry fruit between the layers. It was simply divine, earning high praise from our clergy and guests alike.

We cannot recommend Chris highly enough for her professionalism, personal care, and incredible talent. She exceeded all our expectations, turning our wedding cake into a centerpiece of the celebration and becoming an essential part of our big day—not just as a vendor, but as an honored guest.

If you're planning an event in the Brainerd Lakes area, make Brainerd Lakes Cakes your “must-have.” Chris will elevate your occasion and leave you with unforgettable memories.

We’ve already booked her to create our first anniversary cake, and we couldn’t be more excited!
