JAN MOON, Owner & CEO:

Jan has been creating wedding cakes for brides & grooms in the Birmingham area for over 20 years.  After getting her degree from the University of Alabama, Jan worked in the test kitchens of Southern Living & Cooking Light before striking out on her own with Dreamcakes.  She lives in Birmingham with her husband, Gary.  They have three children: Ben, a manager at the McWane Science Center; Katie, her partner & Creative Director at Dreamcakes; & Jackson, a firefighter.  She is the proud Gigi of Holland Moon & a diehard fan of Brett Favre.

KATIE MOON, Creative Director:

Katie has been watching her mother bake & design cakes her entire life, & her passion has caught on.  A graduate of psychology from Samford University, her unique flavor creations help make the bakery a trendsetting spot for the Birmingham culinary scene.  When she’s not working, Katie can be found reading (she likes Harry Potter), listening to music (current fave: Florence and the Machine) or dreaming about traveling.  She also has a deep, abiding love for red lipstick, which she wears very well.

ERIN SHILAND, Kitchen Supervisor:

Dreamcakes simply would not be the place it is today without the help of a dedicated intern turned Senior Baker.  Erin joined the team at the bakery in 2009 and soon proved herself to be invaluable.  She graduated from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York with an emphasis in Pastry Arts.  Erin hopes one day to create fantastic wedding cakes of her own.

AARON CONRAD, Baker:

The lone helping of testosterone at Dreamcakes, Aaron is a born and raised Floridan.  He attended culinary school at Gulf Coast Community College, starting off as an artisan baker.  He started decorating cakes for friends, and soon he fell into deep, passionate love with fondant, creating off-the-wall cakes.  He began his journey to Birmingham in the summer of 2010, joining the Dreamcakes staff that same year.  Aaron can usually be found in the kitchen, with powdered sugar on his apron & an air brush gun in his hand.
