369 Cakerie

Founder's Story

At 53, I'm finally pursuing the entrepreneurial dream I've carried since I was a teenager. Inspired by my father's example as an entrepreneur, I always wanted to build a business of my own. After losing my mother at 15 and raising my five children as a single mother, my own dreams took a back seat.

Today, as a recent empty nester, recovery has given me something I never had before—a supportive community that believes in me and encourages me to pursue those dreams.
369 Cakerie grew from a lifelong passion for baking into a custom cake business serving Long Beach, Washington, and surrounding communities. Every cake is handcrafted from scratch and designed for each client because I believe desserts become part of life's celebrations.

My vision extends beyond a bakery. I hope to create a welcoming gathering place centered around handcrafted desserts, tea, coffee, books, and local artisan goods. As the business grows, I plan to establish the nonprofit I've dreamed of creating.

Business Description

369 Cakerie is a custom cake company based in Long Beach, Washington, specializing in handcrafted celebration cakes where artistic design and exceptional flavor come together. As both a baker and cake artist, I believe every cake should be as memorable to eat as it is to admire. I create custom cakes, gourmet cupcakes, dessert tables, and specialty desserts for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, graduations, corporate events, and every occasion worth celebrating. I proudly serve Long Beach, Ilwaco, Seaview, Ocean Park, Naselle, Astoria, and the surrounding Pacific Northwest coastal communities.

Every dessert is made from scratch using quality ingredients and thoughtfully designed to reflect each client’s unique vision. Whether it’s an elegant wedding cake, a whimsical birthday cake, gourmet cupcakes, or my signature Bliss Bites, every order is handcrafted with the belief that desserts become part of the memories we create together.

My menu features a variety of custom cake flavors and fillings, including vanilla bean, chocolate, almond, carrot spice, lemon, strawberry, pistachio, matcha, banana matcha, and seasonal specialties. I create fresh fruit compotes, premium chocolate fillings, Biscoff desserts, stabilized whipped frosting, and other scratch-made components that set my desserts apart. Because every order is customized, clients receive a dessert that is uniquely theirs in both flavor and design.

Customer service is just as important to me as craftsmanship. I work closely with each client from the initial consultation through delivery to ensure every cake reflects the occasion, personality, and vision being celebrated. I believe ordering a custom cake should be an enjoyable, collaborative, and stress-free experience.

The name “369” is inspired by Nikola Tesla’s fascination with those numbers and serves as a reminder that extraordinary things begin with a clear intention. That philosophy shapes every part of my business—from the way I work with clients to the care I put into every handcrafted dessert. My tagline, “Baking with Intention,” reflects my commitment to quality, creativity, and meaningful connection through food.

My vision extends beyond baking. As 369 Cakerie grows, I plan to open a welcoming storefront where guests can enjoy handcrafted desserts, specialty coffee, and loose-leaf tea while browsing books, locally made artisan jewelry, crystals, and thoughtfully curated gifts. My goal is to create a gathering place where people connect, celebrate, and support local makers while experiencing the creativity and warmth that define 369 Cakerie.

369 Cakerie is the first step toward an even bigger dream. As the business grows, I plan to establish the nonprofit I’ve envisioned for decades, using the success of my business to create opportunities that strengthen and serve my community. Every cake I create is another brick laid toward that vision.
