"Chaya Conrad doesn’t just make cakes — she bakes with love and spreads happiness along the way. Bywater Bakery means the world to a slew of regulars; a hub for music, community, and neighborhood support. Conrad, who left large-scale supermarket baking and management to go small and local, makes fantastic cakes for weddings and special moments — the strawberry Chantilly and coconut cake are two winners among many. By the way — Bywater Bakery made Taylor Swift’s birthday cake in 2022." - Clair Lorell
