Our Story

Why I Started Red Tornado Bakes

Red Tornado Bakes is a side passion project, inspired by countless hours spent watching my grandmother decorate cakes for a living and by the creativity of modern baking shows. I love exploring flavors and textures — because taste matters just as much as looks. I focus on cakes, cookies, bars, and other miscellanous treats.

All my creations are baked from scratch (no boxes here). This gives me the freedom to explore different flavors and textures — even though my chocolate layered cake is a strong favorite.

My kitchen is a smoke-free, pet-free environment — unless you count the fish.

My time is limited, but if you have an idea, reach out and inquire — I’d love to bake for you.
