About Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe

baker, artist, and dreamer

Hey there! I’m Allison! The baker, artist, and dreamer behind Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe. Most days you can find me in a cloud of flour and sugar, bouncing between the mixer, oven and office. All while trying to balance this crazy blessing of a business with my life outside of being an entrepreneur. Want to know a little more? I was raised in very rural Eastern NC. Think fields as far as you can see and not a stoplight in sight, then drive 10 more miles and you can find where I call home.

From wearing your Grandmother’s pearls, to and old fashioned pig pickin’, I love all good southern traditions. This is not the career path I ever envisioned for myself, but far greater. Funny how God works all that out for us, huh? I have an excessive amount of cookbooks. I love the way a new book cracks the first time you open it. Then I splatter it with ingredients and make it all my own. Bridal shows still make me nervous! I think we have done close to 2 dozen shows now and I still worry about making sure all the details are just right.

    Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe was a delight to work with for our wedding cake. From our initial inquiry, their communication was simple, friendly, and fast - they quickly answered all of our questions and made the ordering process a breeze. On the day of our wedding, the cake they delivered were absolutely beautiful, tasty, and elegant. Our guests raved about how delicious everything was. Vanilla Bean Bake Shoppe truly exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

  • Delicious!
