Rick and I have known L.A. cake designer Joan Spitler of Cake Divasand her partner Leigh Grode for 6 years. Joan was the last person Rick and I saw before moving to Hawaii to open cakelava -- she drove us and our dog Mikey to the L.A.
airport. Cake Divaswas only 4 years old at the time Rick started working there and had already made a huge name for itself in L.A. Thousands of cakes and countless magazines, celebrity functions, television shows and public appearances later, they are practically a household name and will be celebrating their year anniversary this month.
I’ve been looking forward to interviewing Joan ever since our series began.
I knew with her fun, outrageous, design-without-limits approach to cake design that she would make a perfect interviewee, full of interesting stories and experiences. On a personal level, Joan is an absolute sweetheart and we love her to death.
She is warm and genuine, she would do just about anything for you
