The Mischief Maker Alex Narramore, The Mischief Maker. Botanically accurate sugar flower artist. That’s the focus of what we do. Alex was educated in art and is a self taught baker.

Maker of one-of-a-kind cakes.The Mischief Maker is a cake & dessert business that specializes in exquisitely crafted high-detail wedding cakes and hand-sculpted sugar flowers. THE MISCHIEF MAKER is a cake and dessert business based in Lexington, Kentucky that specializes in exquisitely crafted one-of-a-kind wedding cakes, sugar flowers, renowned flavors, and celebration cakes. The Mischief Maker is sure to delight both the taste buds and the eyes with a stunning wedding cake emblazoned with dozens of our hand-sculpted sugar flowers. We show careful attention to menu creation, dessert presentation, color palette, and possess a dedication to concept development on your order. We believe your wedding cake can be the visual and culinary centerpiece of your wedding reception and, as such, should exceed all your expectations. The Mischief Maker elevates details and customization over mass production and cutting corners. While many other professional cake makers place more importance on standardization, leaving their most detailed work for periodicals and competition, we believe our best work should always be the work we deliver for your special day. One-on-one consultation, custom color palettes and the highest ingredient standards are just where we start. It’s our pain-staking attention to detail that truly sets us apart: delicately-thin rose petals that allow light to pass through, exquisite veining on our sugar flowers, an eye to the overall affect that will leave you and your guests breathless. We take on fewer cakes, so no corners need be cut to deliver volume rather than quality. This is our difference and we believe a Mischief Maker cake offers an unrivaled experience and outstanding value. The Mischief Maker, based in Lexington, Kentucky provides wedding cakes in Lexington, Kentucky and in surrounding states, including, but not limited to the following areas: Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Ashland, and Pikeville. We receive many wedding cake requests from other areas, including out-of-state, in cities such as Cincinnati, Evansville, Chicago, New York City, Pennsylvania, Nashville, Asheville, and Charleston. If you live outside the areas listed above, or you’re having a destination event, feel free to email or message us to make arrangements, so we can begin planning your cake; these are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Mischief Maker has been featured in numerous magazines and online blogs both for sugar flower wedding and celebration cakes, as well as sculpted cakes. Creative Director of The Mischief Maker, Alex Narramore is a botanically accurate sugar flower artist based in Lexington, KY. Merging her love for gardening with sculpting and color, Alex grows the specimens in her garden that she needs to study and observe to accurately sculpt to a correct scale and paint the sugar flowers that will later adorn her cakes. Each sugar petal, stamen, and flower part is made by hand and each finished bloom is hand painted. The cake designs are retired immediately upon baking and are never recreated. Very low volume, only one cake per month is ideally accepted, as the detail work for each cake can take many weeks of preparation. Alex works with her mother on the sugar flowers at her grandmother’s house in eastern Kentucky. Tucked away in the mountains, they do some of their best creative work with their sugar flowers. Whether at Mamaw’s or in her home garden downtown in Lexington, she can always be found somewhere between the garden and the studio, usually with her Irish Setter, Mocha, on her heels. Alex has been recognized world-wide within her field, including: periodical publications, news outlets, being named one of the top four international wedding cake designers of 2015 by the Cake Masters’ Awards, and being named, by prestigious judges: Sylvia Weinstock, Mike McCarey, Chef Nicholas Lodge, Colette Peters, Ron Ben- Israel, Kerry Vincent, Eddie Spence M.B.E., Chef Sherry Yard, and Lisa Mansour, the 2017 winner of the award for international wedding cake artist of the year by The Golden Tier Awards. The Golden Tier Awards is the first American-hosted, international awards show of its kind. This exclusive event brings together pastry chefs, cake and sugar-artists, dessert professionals, authors and writers, chocolatiers, instructors, and retailers from across the globe to celebrate the very best the industry has to offer. In 2018, The Mischief Maker was named one of the top 10 cake artists in the United States by Cake Masters magazine.

My French macarons are making their debut at FoodChain tomorrow morning at 8 AM! 💚🩵 .

Stop going to Whole Foods every week. The groceries at The Food Chain Neighborhood Local Grocery are the very best. The most local food from local farmers or grown in house in their aquaponic system and gardens (which are AMAZING! Request a tour!) By shopping at food chain local grocery, you're supporting your neighborhood. You eat seasonally and you help people . All while you shop . Your dollars end up helping people who truly need it as the community work they do to make good food affordable and accessible for all is fantastic. Everyone should have access to good seasonal healthy food. And it makes ALL of our lives in this community better all because you spent a dollar in the right place.

It has been amazing to cook here and watch what a supportive community it is for local chefs. With programs encouraging people how to grow their food and how to cook it !

As soon as I saw it open, I wanted to be apart of this wonderful organization and grocery store. I can walk to work to make my desserts, keep the kitchen clean for my bed and breakfast guests, get some steps, and be part of what they're doing each week or I can take a short drive. All while never leaving my neighborhood and barely my street! Could not be a better fit ! Look forward to this dessert collaboration and many others! Keep an eye out.

Decided to redo the garden porches and decks and the side garden a bit for fall. Mums and pumpkins it is. The house was rented out for a baby shower yesterday. The host said it went well! Link in bio to my Peerspace if you'd like to do the same for a photo shoot or small gathering. Also, added a bit more floral to the chandelier in the dining room. Still a work in progress, but think it will be a fun base to stuff with fresh florals. Thankful to the help of friends here and there to pull this off during a very busy week.

Worked out a new porch for fall and Keeneland. After my time away. The hydrangeas have taken the lick. My handyman laughed hysterically when I told him the shape they were in and said I was like a person at a grave yard trying to revive the dead. Think this looks a lot more friendly. Before is in the third slide. And love this quirky twisty squash !

Thinking back on these fresh flower arrangements that I did last year to help out with a family friend's wedding. Brainstorming on a garden club talk for Christie Angel . I should have probably gone through the pictures more carefully, but here I am building the structure and some progresses. Love the movement, color, and texture here.
