Buttercream florals, made by hand with heart. I’m Trina, the cake artist behind Baked with Grace in Anamosa, Iowa. I design buttercream-only wedding cakes, floral cupcake bouquets, mini cupcakes, and decorated cookies. Each petal piped by hand to reflect your palette and style. Couples love our flavors as much as the look, from classic Vanilla and Chocolate to specialties like Lemon Blueberry, Blackberry Vanilla, Strawberry Lemonade, and Cookies & Cream. I serve Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, the Corridor, and the Quad Cities with delivery and on-site setup so every detail is picture-perfect. Dates fill quickly, kindly reserve 6–12 months ahead.

I got my start many years ago when I was living back home in Chicago, at a cute little bakery, that I still visit to this day! I went back and forth between working in graphic design to cooking and baking. I started working in the bakery at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center as a part-time line cook in 2013 and in 2015 a became their in-house cake designer. In 2019 I decided to leave my position at the hotel and opened Sugar Flower Cake Design. I love seeing the joy when my clients cut into their cake and take their first bite - it makes life much sweeter! - Jennifer Smith
