Kara’s Dad started teaching her to cook pancakes when she was two, sparking a long love affair with all things bread, chocolate, and pastry. She graduated from Johnson and Wales with a Bachelor’s in Baking and Pastry Arts in 2021 and has worked at Fearrington since. Unlike many cake designers, she started in cake first, and then discovered a love of art second; paint is her favorite art medium. Kara thinks of cakes as delicious art pieces.
