Friday Follow (#FF) with Lori Hutchinson

Name: Lori Hutchinson (The Caketress)

Occupation: Cake Designer

Who is your role model:

Betsey Johnson (quirky and lovable fashion designer)

What do you like most about your job:

Being able to create artistic and interesting cakes for amazing couples.

Daily ritual:

I really don’t have a ritual. I’m actually very random on what I do everyday but when I comes to cakes I usually am always in search for beautiful things that inspire cake designs.

The most rewarding part of my job is:

 Knowing I was able to create something beautiful for people celebrating their life’s special events.

What has been your favourite cake and why?

 That’s a tough one but I’d have to say I loved making this five foot tall cake with hundreds of edible flowers and 24k golden scrolls for one of my bride’s Jasmine. Sometimes you have an instant cake chemistry from cake designer to bride and Jasmine and I had so much fun “cake plotting” her wedding cake that it made me want to push myself o give her the best cake.

Where do you go for some retail therapy:

I have a weakness for anthropologie. I heart everything in that store.

Memorable celebrity encounter:

Tom Cruise when he was doing interviews for Vanilla Sky.

Favourite hangout:

Chapters, though I have a bad habit of not actually buying anything and reading for a few hours with chai latte in hand.

Favourite childhood memory:

Playing dress up and “borrowing” my grandma’s costume jewelry as accessories.

If there was more time in the day you would:

Take dance classes.

Favourite social network: Facebook
