Meet Emma

Hi, I'm Emma — the cake artist behind Em's Custom Bakes.

My Story

I relocated to Wilmington, NC from Madison, Wisconsin, where I was raised. After falling in love with this coastal city and its amazing community, I decided to pursue my passion for creating beautiful, delicious custom cakes and baked goods.

I'm dedicated to turning your sweet dreams into reality. I understand how stressful event planning can be, which is why my goal is to take one thing off your plate — literally! Whether you're looking for a stunning wedding cake or a quirky themed creation, I bring creativity and elegance to every order.

Outside of baking, you'll find me exploring Wilmington's hidden gems or relaxing at the beach — a welcome change from the snowy Wisconsin winters I grew up with!
