“Is Mixer really your last name?…And you’re a baker?…Who uses a mixer?” It’s true, it’s true. I put my last name to good use! I really can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t baking!

I am a devotee of art in many forms, but I feel a twinge of jealousy for those who are able to create it. While I have dabbled with artistic expression in sketching and interior design, I have been pleasantly surprised to learn that flour and sugar can be just as expressive and rewarding! I love to approach baking projects with a keen eye for uniqueness and design.

S.D. Smith, a favorite author of mine, explained once that art is much more akin to the work of a farmer or a doctor — that art’s true purpose is to serve those who encounter it. This is my goal for my baking — that through something as seemingly trivial as cake, I would be able to love people well. I delight to listen to a client’s vision and ideas for their event, and I feel privileged to come alongside them and create something beautiful that will bring their ideas to life, and create sweet memories for their guests.

This is the philosophy behind Providence Baking — The Creator blesses us, that we might go and bless others.

Testimonials

“Dee is cheerful, professional, a bit of a perfectionist (which is what you want in a cake/dessert designer) and made sure everything was perfect! I’m still in awe of her creativity and attention to detail-WOW!! I would LOVE to work with her exclusively. She’s a gem! When I posted pictures of a wedding she worked, I had multiple people ask me about her as well as some of the elements she used. She’s a trend-setter, this one! I can’t wait to work with her again and I look forward to following her rise. I know she’s going places."

— Rene, Event Planner

“I have to say, I was beginning to lose faith in the possibility of ever enjoying something delicious that might be gluten free/dairy free. That was until I discovered these wonderful baked goods. Dee has a way of not only making things taste delicious, but they look so pretty that you almost don’t want to eat them. And she took me from not enjoying frosting to loving her ganache and Italian meringue options. I always look forward to the next thing I get to try and I have actually found myself enjoying treats here and there more than ever, because there’s no guilt knowing that I’m eating something healthier… even though it might be delectable!!”

“The desserts prepared by Dee at a wedding I attended were out of this world! Her products are incredible, and her attention to detail is fantastic. It’s obvious that so much attention went into each little piece. All of the desserts were gluten free, and had no one said anything, I wouldn’t have known! They were THAT good! The designs are modern and creative, and everything from the cakes to the custards were amazing. Highly recommend!”
