Tasty Horchata vegan mini cakes on today’s #LunchBreakLIVE! We have a brilliant guest baker, Jordan Rondel, creator of The Caker, with us today, showing us how to make this fabulous dessert! We are lucky to have her mixing up her magic in the kitchen for us. I can’t wait to learn how to make these cute and delicious mini cakes! Let’s see how it’s done…
Making Magic In The Form Of Cakes!
Jordan first experienced the elation of baking as a young girl visiting her grandparents in Paris. That joy of transforming carefully selected ingredients into a miraculously satisfying whole never left her, and as she grew up, the kitchen became her domain.
In 2010 in Auckland, New Zealand, she made a life-changing decision and founded The Caker. Her strong sense of self and style of her own immediately set her apart in her arena. She became a public figure, transcending not only the culinary space but also the world of entrepreneurship, fashion, and beauty. The made-to-order cakes (the couture), Jordan’s recipe books, and luxury cake kits (the ready-to-wear) started to gain an international cult following. This success propelled The Caker towards the USA in 2019. The Cake, with Jordan at the center of it, is in essence a lifestyle brand and a media company, with limitless potential.
