Dr. Shica of Dr. Shicas bakery is from Southern California with a mission to deliver comfort in the form of a bakery box directly to your home. She specializes in home-baked flavors that brighten and comfort those that delight in her treats and baked goods.
When did you start Dr. Shicas bakery?
I started Dr. Shica’s Bakery after losing my corporate education job as a result of Covid. After our business closed, I leaned full time into my side hustle which was baking.
Tell us about the cake you prepared for Jessica Simpson.
I personally created Jessica’s favorite cake which is our Southern Red Velvet Cake. She’s a southern girl just like Dr. Shica where our cakes are homemade using real eggs, real butter and quality ingredients.
Our Red Velvet Cake is one of our most popular desserts and it is called Debra’s Red Velvet named after my mom’s recipe. It is irresistibly smooth and impeccably flavored with the perfect balance of cocoa and vanilla.
Topped with Dr. Shica’s Signature cream cheese frosting, it will absolutely melt in your mouth.
