ABOUT
Meet Annah Kalb, the baker behind Zelie's Cakes
Welcome to Zelie's Cakes! Named after St. Zelie Martin, a Catholic saint who owned a successful lace business, my bakery combines a love for baking with a dedication to quality, creativity, and beauty.
​
Zelie's Cakes began as a passionate hobby I enjoyed before becoming a chemistry professor at Wabash College. While working on a PhD in chemistry at Purdue, I started baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes for my labmates' birthdays. This hobby grew into a beloved home bakery, where the focus is on creating delicious and beautifully decorated cupcakes.
A Scientific Approach to Baking
​
My background in chemistry gives me a unique edge in baking! Just like reagents in a lab experiment, each ingredient plays a crucial role in forming the final product. From mixing the batter to baking the cupcakes, understanding the changes happening at the molecular level ensures that every cupcake turns out light and fluffy!
​
My Mission
​
At Zelie's Cakes, my goal is to share the joy of delicious and beautifully decorated baked goods with my community. Whether it’s for a birthday, shower, feast day, or any special event, my cupcakes are crafted with care and attention to detail. I believe that every celebration is made sweeter with a touch of elegance and a lot of love.
​
Thank you for considering Zelie's Cakes. I look forward to making your special occasions even more memorable with my cupcakes!
