Our Story

Food is my love language

Hi, I'm Kelsey Ryder, the pastry chef and cake designer behind Love More Sweets. Food, especially sweets, has always been part of my life. After graduating from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City and interning alongside competition-winning cake artist Kate Sullivan of Cake Power, I brought that training home to Omaha.

I never thought of myself as an artist before, but when it comes to designing cakes, it just clicks. With me as your cake designer, you get Midwest charm and dedication alongside the beauty, elegance, and modern influence of NYC. Now I literally get to play with food for a living, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Every cake should feel like it belongs only to the people it was made for. Never interchangeable, never ordinary.

Behind the Scenes

Handcrafted, hour by hour

Every sponge is baked fresh. Every sugar flower is sculpted petal by petal. Every tier is built by hand in our Omaha studio. No box mixes, no shortcuts, no outsourcing. It's just Kelsey, premium ingredients, and the quiet intensity that shows up in the finished cake.

This is slow work. Thoughtful work. The kind that can only come from a single chef who cares deeply about how your day is remembered, and what it tastes like.
