FISHTOWN (WPVI) — At Cake Life Bake Shop, Thanksgiving is the biggest holiday of the year.<\/p>\n
There are 3 pies on the Thanksgiving menu -maple pecan pie, classic caramel apple, and a pumpkin pie topped with vanilla bean whipped cream and toasted pepitas.<\/p>\n
The bakers are also whipping up cheesecakes, cupcakes and full-sized cakes along with biscuits, cornbread, sweet pastries and a sage, butternut squash, goat and leek quiche.<\/p>\n
Cake Life pastry Chef and co-founder Lily Fischer says she’s always identified as an artist.<\/p>\n
She was a music major in college, with plans of becoming a singer.<\/p>\n
She was teaching pre-school when she first started baking in her late 20s, making cupcakes for school events,. Parents, she says, started asking her to make cupcakes for their kid’s birthday parties.<\/p>\n
So she decided to ditch graduate school for culinary school.<\/p>\n
She was then invited to compete on The Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, and she won.<\/p>\n
At Cake Life, she and her team have famously baked a birthday cake for Beyonce…twice.<\/p>\n
The bakery’s secret, Lily says, is simple-high quality ingredients coupled with the love and attention they put in to making edible art.<\/p>\n
While they’re accepting Thanksgiving pre-orders through November 22nd, they will be open Thanksgiving morning, with lots of options for your last-minute sweet and savory needs.<\/p>\n
