Chanel aka Chef Lotus

Welcome to The Baked Lotus Cake House, your go-to home bakery in Bowie, MD, where we specialize in crafting delightful Southern treats from scratch. Our journey began with a heartfelt longing to recreate the comforting embrace of grandmother's kitchen—a sentiment akin to the nostalgic scene in Ratatouille that transports the food critic back to his mother's cooking.

Behind every delectable creation at The Baked Lotus lies a rich culinary legacy. Starting with my great grandfather, who broke barriers as a Black male chef in the South, his culinary wisdom was passed down through generations. Guided by my paternal grandparents, I developed a profound love for food that drives me today. As a caterer, chef, baker, and pastry aficionado, I proudly continue this legacy, realizing a dream that would make my ancestors proud.

Fueled by the joy of nourishing my family through lively gatherings and cherished traditions, their unwavering support inspired me to share my culinary creations with a wider audience. Baking emerged as my true passion, leading to the creation of The Baked Lotus Cake House—a place where I can blend Southern tradition with my own creative flair.

Step into The Baked Lotus Cake House and embark on a delicious journey down memory lane. Experience the magic of Southern baking in every bite as we honor tradition while adding our own whimsical touch to your sweetest memories.
