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

I was diagnosed with celiac in 2019, and since then I have been on a mission to create delicious gluten (and sometimes dairy) free options for all occasions. Not only are my treat super tasty, I also have a passion for making beautiful baked goods that that are on par with every other bakery.
