We had the good fortune of connecting with Christine Brisse and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christine, what are you inspired by?
I find inspiration in art and the limitless potential of it. A major inspiration is my children’s inventive minds. Their imagination reminds me of the beauty in the simple yet ingenious concepts. Lastly, I find inspiration in entrepreneurs and specifically, skilled bakers who over the years have fueled my ambition to challenge myself with more detailed designs. These sources of inspiration drive me to explore, create, and grow in my own creative journey!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

Cake Mitten is a custom bake shop that specializes in creating unique cakes, cookies, and other delightful treats, making it the go-to choice for special occasions. Additionally, Cake Mitten offers a diverse range of workshops suitable for all ages, making it a one-stop destination for both delicious confections and culinary education. We’ve been awarded, The Best of the Best Bakery, honored into the Who’s Who of America and nominated for a variety of awards within the first two years of business.
Despite some initial struggles, Cake Mitten’s transition to an appointment-only model allowed us to offer more specialized and customized desserts. The result was not only an expansion of our client base but also an elevation of our reputation as a go-to destination for unique sweets. Our bakery’s ability to adapt and overcome these challenges ultimately led to a more successful and satisfying business model.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There are numerous hidden treasures to discover in my area! Our day would begin with a delightful brunch at Host Utica. Afterward, we’d visit XO Aesthetics and also The Bronze Bar for a radiant tan and some relaxation. We’d enjoy a delectable charcuterie board at RnB Charcuterie. Following that, we’d browse through holiday decorations at Riverside Vintage Market and wrap up the day with dinner and drinks at J Baldwins!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
To my beloved sons Benjamin and Liam, You are the driving force behind every step I take, the motivation that fuels my heart and the most precious treasures in my world!
