Buttercream & Big Dreams:
My Sweet Story
Hi, I’m Jenn Patterson—cake artist, mom, and joyful creator based in Blaine, MN.
After becoming an attorney and starting a family, I found myself craving a creative outlet—something just for me. I’ve always loved baking and cooking, especially the way food brings people together to celebrate life’s moments. So, for my birthday, I convinced my husband to gift me a set of cake tools… and that’s where the magic began.
I never considered myself artistic, but once I started decorating cakes, I was hooked. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. I’ve come a long way since my very first cake (scroll down to see it!) and I’m constantly learning new techniques, experimenting with flavors, and dreaming up designs that make people smile.
In addition to custom cakes and cupcakes, I also run an Etsy shop where I sell edible cupcake and cake toppers—perfect for adding a personalized touch to any celebration. These toppers are gluten-free, dairy-free, and designed to match your theme, whether you’re planning a birthday bash, a Swiftie-inspired party, or celebrating a holiday. I love helping people bring their vision to life, one sweet detail at a time.
While I occasionally use fondant, my specialty is buttercream—lush, vibrant, and full of personality. If you see something you love or have a vision for your next celebration, send it my way. I’d be thrilled to help create something beautiful and delicious for your special occasion.
Meet my Family!
