My Story
Gina Mandrick, Owner
Hi there, my name is Gina! ​I am a wife, a mother of three beautiful babies & 1 fur baby and a self taught baker.
I have a bachelors degree in business administration. Previously, I worked as an admin at our family owned construction company. After my husband and I had our second baby, I decided to stay at home permanently. Being home with my babies has always been my dream and I am fortunate that this is possible. Not only do I love being home but I also love being in the kitchen! I am always cooking and baking, it is truly my passion.
I knew in my heart, owning my own business was a goal I always wanted to achieve. That is when I decided to mesh my goal, and my passion. The first time I made cake pops was in 2011 for my very own wedding shower. And then again for our wedding favors. This spiraled into friends and family asking for me to make cake pops for their events. Then friends of friends and so on!
​
I kept adding different items to my menu. Tweaking recipes. Tweaking techniques.
Constantly watching videos, learning new recipes, testing them, trying again, trying again and TRYING AGAIN. Finding the best quality ingredients that would set my desserts apart from the rest.
​
Here I am, 12 years later, successfully running my own business! My dad is my inspiration behind Baby Cake Bouquets. He taught me what hard work is and to keep moving forward, even if you fail. He has always motivated my sisters and I to be the best versions of ourselves. My dad and my love for creating was my reason to start Baby Cake Bouquets, and my family is the reason I keep going & growing.
I truly love what I do and I have met so many amazing people throughout my journey.It means the world to me to be part of my customers special events that are near and dear to their hearts. When I hear my treats were a hit at a party, it warms my heart and makes me grateful I followed my passion. A huge THANK YOU to those who have been part of my dream.I will continue to use the highest quality ingredients and provide the best possible product I can. I am looking forward to a growing future with you!
