Hello, my name is Jenica and I am the owner/baker/decorator of Fancy Pants Cakes, LLC. I have been fascinated by baking ever since I was young. Everyone in my family decorated cakes to enter in the Saratoga County Fair (New York) for years, and I had quite the blue ribbon collection from the kids’ division!

Experimenting with frosting came naturally to me as an adult. I took a cake class in Santa Barbara, California, began decorating detailed cakes for friends, made a slew of cakes when I lived in Idaho, and learned exciting techniques by taking several workshops from well-known cake artists.

I started a cake decorating business when I moved to Bennington, Vermont, in 2012. The term ‘fancy pants’ is one I used as a little kid to describe things I thought were fancy, and I felt it perfectly captured the whimsical nature I love to express in my cakes.

For the past 13 years, I have been actively working with local venues, building strong relationships with many venues and vendors. I am a proud member of Vermont Weddings and the Vermont Association of Wedding Professionals. To continue refining my craft, I regularly participate in professional development workshops and attend Cake International—the largest cake show in the world—every year.

Fancy Pants Cakes is a licensed and insured business, registered by the State of Vermont and the Health Department. I operate in a smoke-free and pet-free home.
