THE CAKE SHOPPE
Welcome to The Cake Shoppe, an online concept store that encourages you to play with your food.
We curate various unique objects inspired by food - food for thought in a manner of speaking. Sometimes more literally, other times . . . more creatively. We like to to think of the catwalk as more of a cakewalk - a place to showcase all things food whether they be decorative, functional, collectible, or anything in between.
The Cake Shoppe (and The Cakewalk universe) encourages you to be unserious, make statements, embrace the wild, the whacky, the unconventional, and whatever makes you happy. We collaborate with talents worth their salt and curate objects that we find to be the greatest things since sliced bread.
What are you waiting for? Dig in! And bon appétit!
THE CAKEWALK
What exactly is The Cakewalk?
And how does it relate to The Cake Shoppe?
The Cakewalk started out as a fun newsletter about food, fashion, and culture - and still is! It then became the foundation for the gourmand universe of The Cakewalk. The newsletter covers all there is to know about food from news, pop culture, history, entertainment, shopping, recommendations, and more.
Curious about the name? The Cakewalk à la catwalk is inspired by the connection between food and fashion. It’s also an idiom implying something is easy, or rather, a piece of cake.
The core of The Cakewalk is about having fun with food and so everything that comes from this universe will always uphold that.
MEET KHUYEN
Howdy! My name is Khuyen (pronounced like Queen) and I could not be more thrilled to invite you into the flavorful universe that is
The Cakewalk and The Cake Shoppe!
I’ve spent the past decade wearing various hats in the luxury fashion industry while spending most of that time living in Paris. During my time in fashion I learned to hone my very specific aesthetic before matters of the heart or matter the stomach got the better of me and I had to change my focus.
6 years ago I came up with an idea that centered around creating a platform that I could use to highlight, promote, and support the talented people I admire, but in my own way. I wanted to find ways to creatively collaborate and make beautiful things with beautiful people for everyone to enjoy, ultimately fostering a community of like-minded folks.
Here we are today, many moons and versions of this project later.
I present to you The Cake Shoppe by The Cakewalk and I am SO glad you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you and I sure hope you’ve got a big appetite because let me tell you, you’re in for one of the biggest feasts of your life!
