thank you for visiting my page!

Cakes by Narleen Kristel began in 2009, when she offered to bake and design a cake for a good friend's wedding. The cake was hugely complimented both for design and flavor, that she proudly posted one picture onto her facebook page and shortly thereafter, orders came in one after the other... and the rest is history!

Narleen Kristel has NEVER taken a cake decorating class in her entire life, nor has she ever taken any culinary, baking or pastry classes. She simply has a love and passion for the culinary arts & design, she seeks to continually challenge herself, and most of all, she takes great pride in her work.

happy 65th birthday...

top tier: mango chiffon with fresh mango filling
bottom tier: chocolate covered strawberry
with chocolate fudge buttercream

made for my aunt's 65th birthday... this pretty little dainty cake had sakura flowers which i literally created each by hand. she likes the color maroon/burgundy which is why i made the flowers in that color rather than pink.
