Welcome to CakesByCharlie—where butter is generous, ovens are always warm, and cake is never just “dessert.”
Hi, I’m Charlie, the baker, recipe-tester, and cake-obsessed human behind this blog. CakesByCharlie was created out of a simple love for baking and a not-so-simple belief that cake has the power to bring people together. Birthdays, holidays, quiet weekends, big wins, bad days—there’s always a reason to bake a cake (or at least eat one).
This blog is all about approachable, reliable, and joy-filled cake recipes. Whether you’re baking your very first layer cake or you’ve been frosting since forever, you’ll find recipes here that are clear, tested, and made to actually work in a real-life kitchen—not just look pretty on the internet.
What You’ll Find Here
- Classic cakes with a twist
- Simple, no-fuss recipes for busy days
- Celebration cakes for big moments
- Tips, tricks, and honest baking advice
- Plenty of chocolate (non-negotiable)
Every recipe on CakesByCharlie is tested multiple times, written with clarity, and shared with the goal of helping you bake with confidence. If something can be simplified without losing flavor, I’m doing it. If a step matters, I’ll tell you why.
Why CakesByCharlie?
Because baking should feel fun, not intimidating. Because cakes don’t need to be perfect to be delicious. And because sharing a homemade cake—lopsided layers and all—is one of the simplest ways to show love.
I’m so glad you’re here. Preheat your oven, grab your mixing bowl, and let’s bake something amazing together.
With love and lots of frosting,
Charlie 🎂
