Welcome to the Giddy Chick blog. My name is Cheryl and I’m passionate about sharing my experiences as a Pastry Chef and as a successful Home Host.
With each wedding I strive to honor the uniqueness of each couple. It is paramount to me that we work together to create a sweet experience that reflects your tastes, your personality and your special day. I take my tasks personally. Unlike a largescale bakery, I personally hand craft one wedding cake at a time. I will be the cake designer, the baker, the decorator and the delivery driver. I truly relish seeing your vision from start to finish. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how lucky I am to do something that I love so much! Let me share my passion with you.
Cheryl Brookhouzen, Pastry Chef
A scheduled tasting is the perfect way to sample sweets, collaborate on a vision and plan your special event. It is my pleasure to provide complimentary consultations and tastings.
Each cake is unique and therefore priced individually for you. A deposit and a signed agreement will reserve services for your wedding date.
A dessert table is a wonderful addition to any celebration! An artful display of desserts is a perfect way to honor the season and reflect a theme while catering to the varied tastes of your guests. Together we can create a special experience for your wedding.
