The Vanilla Bean collective serves the metro east as An appointment only bespoke custom cake shop located in downtown Edwardsville, IL.
I'm Stephanie, your local joy dealer and steward of the vbc. I'm so glad you're here. I've been creating in some capacity for more than half my life. cake is one of my favorite forms of artistic expression.
What started as a hobby has blossomed into a sparkly sugar tornado, crumb coated in grit, grace, and gratitude.
god has entrusted me with multiple gifts. cake is what I'm fussing about at the moment, but he has plenty on the horizon for the vbc.
fun fact:
I have no culinary training! That's how gifts work, right?
I AM AN ADVOCATE FOR THE COLLEGIATE EXPERIENCE AND HAVE OBTAINED MULTIPLE DEGREES...THEY JUST HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOD.
I will say, EVERYTHING I'VE PUT MY HAND TO HAS HANDED ME SOMETHING IN RETURN, so NO EXPERIENCES WASTED!
