Baking is scientifically proven to reduce stress. Think back to the Covid-19 pandemic when it was common to find that loads of people were taking to their kitchen and baking everything their hearts desired.
My Concept for A Peace of Cake was born simultaneously with Gourmet Girl Custom Cakes 11 years ago. My personal cake story includes my gravitation toward baking during a difficult time in my life. Baking calmed me, it allowed me a way to channel my energy into the production of something positive, visually pleasing, and delicious.
During my 11 years of teaching both middle and high school aged youth, I discovered that a program that modeled the Cake Joy that I discovered along my own journey would be beneficial to teens.
A mentoring program that would foster self-expression, resiliency, encourage positive mindfulness and cultivating confidence.
