Welcome! My name is Karen Reynolds. I started making cakes when I was a teenager, mostly just for family and friends. I've always been very creative and art was my favorite class in high school. I never would have thought that cakes would be my medium for my art work but here I am and loving every minute of it. After many years of coaxing from family and friends, "Cakes by Karen" became a realization in June of 2009. In June of 2011 I had to change the business name to "Kareli Cakes" to avoid confusion with another business by the same name. My specialty is working with fondant and creating anything but the ordinary bakery cake.
