A little about the cake designer…

Hi, I’m Selene — the baker and cake artist behind Cakeupselene. My love for cake decorating began while working as a cake decorator at Whole Foods Market, where I first learned the art behind creating beautiful celebration cakes. What started as making cakes for my son to make his birthdays feel extra special quickly turned into a passion of bringing that same joy to other families.

After years of practicing, growing, and balancing full time work and motherhood, I officially launched Cakeupselene in 2021. Today, every cake is handcrafted with intention, detail, and the goal of making each celebration feel beautiful, personal, and unforgettable.
