About the Chef
With the palate of chef & the eye of an artist, Pastry Chef Erin Gardner has quickly made a name for herself in the world of cakes. After almost a decade baking in some of the most prestigious kitchens in New England, Erin decided it was time to go out on her own. Starting from her home kitchen baking cakes for family & friends, word quickly spread and it was time for Erin to open up shop!
Erin's passion for life & adventure has taken her down many paths along the way. Originally an Aviation major, Erin learned how to fly planes her freshman year in college. Flying was fun, but she quickly learned that her feet belonged on the ground! After completing a BS in Business Management Erin interned in the marketing department of legendary Tiffany & Co. in NY, NY.
Longing for something more, Erin decided to take the leap into the world of cooking, landing her first position plating desserts at Max Downtown in Hartford, CT. Through hard work & determination she worked her way through the culinary world attaining head Pastry Chef positions at Boston's famed Locke Ober and the regionally acclaimed Bedford Village Inn. In 2007 a sugar flower class with wedding cake master Ron Ben Israel gave direction to Erin's culinary career from that point forward.
At Wild Orchid Baking Company our goal is to create gorgeous confections that taste as amazing as they look. Design & flavor possibilities are limitless, and each cake as special & unique as the person it is for.
