Hi! My name is Eli West, I am 18 years old, and I am from Bethesda, Maryland. Ever since I was little, I’ve loved to bake. My earliest memories are in the kitchen, watching my mom make Shabbat dinners or waiting to help my two older sisters, Noa and Phoebe, with whatever treat they were bringing into school that week. I loved, and continue to love, the noises and energy of the kitchen, the dough in my hands, and the precision, patience, and dedication that each pastry requires. My cakes and pastries are materializations of my subconscious, my emotions, and my voice. Baking is how I bring light and love into the world, and I cannot wait to share it with you.
