About Me
Hey guys!
Welcome to Cakewhiz! My name is Abeer.
If you are here, I bet you are obsessed with baking and entertaining as much as me!
I grew up in Toronto but live in Chicago now with my dear husband and sweet little boy.
I grew up baking and cooking with my Mom and those are truly my fondest childhood memories.
A few years ago, I decided to leave the world of Science and research to start this baking blog.
Now, I spend my days dreaming up new recipes and baking up a storm.
CakeWhiz is a one-stop resource for anyone who has a sweet tooth and enjoys delicious desserts and entertaining family and friends through fun parties and decorated cakes.
Furthermore, it showcases beautiful food photography to tantalize your taste buds.
Through this blog, I hope to share my triumphs and failures in the kitchen with all of you.
Most importantly, I hope that what I do here inspires you to bake and entertain your loved ones!
