Rose M Avery
Artist, Designer, and Chef in Cleveland, Ohio
It all started at the age of 10. I watched my grandmother bake cakes and pies from stratch. I remember picking fresh berries and apples from the trees in her yard. Everything was made from scratch. No boxes or prepackaged ingredients. I was fascinated with the delicious desserts she made for our family every week. I decided to follow in her footsteps; however, I bake for more than my family. As a professional cake artist/baker/chef, I enjoy sharing her secret family desserts with others. I have been baking professionally since 1987. I opened my first bakery in a small plaza on Euclid and Green Road. It was only 480 sq. ft. but it allowed me to bake over 150 flavors of baked-to-order cheesecakes, cakes, cookies, etc. The bakery was Rose's Gourmet Cheesecakes. I remember my first big contract was with the Raddison Hotel. I baked all their gourmet cheesecakes. To date, I still use the highest quality of ingredients to bake. I have travelled to various states baking wedding cakes and catering. I currently have a large following of loyal clients from various professions who purchase baked goods or hired me for personal chef service. I love designing unique cakes made with fondant or buttercream icing. I love a challenge. Allow me to create your wedding cake or special occasion cake. I'm available for consultation for your next event.
