My name is Taylor Turner (call me Tay). I am the owner and Cake Designer at The Cake Canvas Studio. Some people fill their void by designing murals or sketching art pieces but I fill mine by designing cakes and teaching other bakers how to do the same.I like to call myself a visual storyteller. Each cake that I design has a story behind it. Cake decorating is truly therapeutic for me. I feel free and peaceful when I am in my element. 

I've had an entrepreneurial spirit from an incredibly young age. My mom was a single parent of three kids, and as such was only able to provide the bare minimum.  I hated watching my mom struggle, so since a child it was my mission to be able to take care of her when I became an adult. 

I come from a family that unfortunately includes individuals who abuse drugs, have significant debt, poor credit scores and no plans for the future. I was determined this would not be my future as I utilized my knowledge and resources to rewrite and represent my community in the “right” way. 

I am a traveler, thinker, visionary and sucker for creating dope experiences with my loved ones. I believe in always remaining humble, authentic and resilient.
