Carley
I’m a pastry chef and identify as a kitchen witch. I also practice hedgecraft. I create ritual salt and sugar infusions for culinary use and make custom desserts, specializing in boutique cakes. I embarked on my journey to witchcraft and started Flower & Fin as a way to help heal from trauma. Witchcraft, especially kitchen witchery has helped me cope because I believe baking is energy work. My energy, whether positive or negative gets absorbed into my creations. My craft forces me to enter my kitchen with a positive attitude, meditate on my intentions, and to pour compassion into what I am creating. It reminds me to have compassion towards others and to myself.

Many joyful and memorable events center around dessert. Flower and Fin is honored to play a small part in these celebrations.
