Introducing Gateaux d’Ije from Houston baker, Ije Okuwchi.

Ije has loved baking she was a child. Her mom encouraged her interest and helped her to create different cake flavors using various fruits. She states, “I went back to baking when I needed a second stream of income and had a very lucrative and thriving business making all kinds of cakes, particularly wedding cakes. Now I have time on my hands and I decided to go back to my first love.”

Check out some her cakes below! I’ve had first hand experience in tasting these cakes and they are mighty delicious!

• Strawberry cake infused with real strawberries with strawberry cream cheese filling and frosting.

• Signature vanilla cake with homemade lemon curd and blueberry filling and a basket weave and roses buttercream design

• Italian cream cake delight! A pecan and coconut infused experience.

• Amaretto and chocolate chip cheese cake experience! Better tasted than imagined.

• Triple chocolate decadence! This rich and dark chocolate cake is almost a sinful indulgence. White and milk chocolate curls complete the experience.

• Blueberry explosion! Blueberry purée baked into the cake batter with a cream cheese and blueberry compote filling takes this beyond just cake.

• Rich fruit cake with rum soaked raisins and cherries, nuts and even more rum! What’s not to like?

• Rich and moist carrot cake with a cream cheese filling and frosting, covered with a satin finish fondant and garnished with fondant carrots!

• Not so average Pound Cake

• Red Velvet cake that’s so moist and decadent.

• Caramel and Matcha Cake

• Triple Threat: Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry
