Meet Your Cake Artist!
Hi Friends! My name is Amanda, and I am the owner and operator of Once Upon A Roll. My earliest memory of baking is about the age of 4, sitting on top of the counter helping my mom measure out ingredients into the mixing bowl. I come from generations of European women who carefully curated recipes and filled their kitchens with love! I do my best to translate that love into every single bake I curate. Known as Biskuitrolle in German, or a Roulé in French, swiss rolls were a staple treat on the dining table growing up. Taking from my family recipes and through great trial and error, I created my signature Roulé chiffon batter and artisanal fillings. Years of tradition and generations of love pour over every design I hand pipe.
When I'm not in the kitchen baking away, I am a Jill of all trades. I enjoy making jewelry & handbag charms, working on DIY furniture restorations, watching anime with my sons, crafting with my daughter, reading, exploring nature, and cooking. I am a San Diego native that recently moved to Overland Park Kansas, with my family.I look forward to bringing the vision for your edible art to life, keeping true to my promise that at Once Upon A Roll, every roll tells a sweet story!
