Royal Mad-Hatter Wedding Cake created by Jennifer Funk owner of Sweet Retreat Cakes

Sweet Retreat is a home based company created by Jennifer Funk. Having lived in Langley, B.C. for almost 30 years could there be a better place to start a new business?

It all started that Christmas when she received that gold Easy Bake oven at the age of five. Stirring and baking and decorating those little cakes to watch the delight in her parents eyes.

At eighteen the opportunity to become a baker for "Spill the Beans" in Fort Langley, B.C. developed her true passion for baking. She became the head baker after five years and decided to make it her career. While working she trained professionally at Vancouver Community College in the Baking and Pastry program, graduating at the top of her class. She is now a full time certified baker and cake decorator at a retail outlet.

The most rewarding work she gets to do is work from home, making wedding and specialty cakes for Sweet Retreat. Jenni strives on perfection and uses only the highest quality of ingredients. For the last 5 years she has also offered brides on a budget with custom created "rental" wedding cakes.
