Cake Away es un proyecto de dos amigas, ambas soñadoras de pasteles y cookies que se conocen desde que fueron juntas al colegio, en Argentina. Fernanda se dedicaba a su pasión por la pastelería creativa de manera part time y Sofía también, pero haciendo cookies decoradas y pastelería sin gluten y vegana. La vida nos volvió a encontrar en Barcelona y en medio de tardes de playa, mates y pasteles, comenzamos a darle vueltas al sueño de hacer algo juntas. Se alinearon los astros, y finalmente pudimos llevarlo a cabo. Nuestro objetivo es crear recuerdos y darle a las personas una razón para juntarse a compartir momentos, regalar sabores o deleitarse con un pastel salido de un cuento... Cocinamos para todos los dulceros, y tenemos opciones para los que comen CON y para los que comen SIN... no queremos que nadie se quede sin saborear cosas ricas por no comer algún ingrediente. Los invitamos a acompañarnos!
