Meet The Baker
Erica Golden is the heart and soul behind Cakes and Crunches. As the youngest of eight children, Erica grew up in the close-knit community of Jackson, GA, where Southern traditions were a way of life. Her childhood was filled with the warm aroma of homemade dishes, family fish fries, and the satisfaction of preparing for winter with jars of canned goods. Collecting cans and metal alongside her siblings, Erica learned the value of hard work and resourcefulness.
Baking from scratch wasn't just a skill—it was a cherished family tradition passed down by her mother, who instilled in Erica the importance of love and care in every recipe. These early lessons became the foundation of Erica's passion for creating delicious, homemade treats that bring joy to others.
Since 2020, Erica has made her home in the beautiful city of Marietta, Georgia, where she continues to bake with the same dedication and heart. Now a proud mother of three bonus children, Erica's love for family and tradition shines through in every bite of her creations. At Cake and Crunches, you're not just enjoying a treat—you're sharing in a piece of Erica's rich Southern heritage.
