Beyond the Atelier
At Andrea K & Co Cake Atelier, excellence extends far beyond the kitchen.
Founder & Cake Artist Andrea K. McCray brings to the Atelier a distinguished background in strategic leadership, organizational development, community engagement, historic preservation, and cultural stewardship. The principles that have guided her professional life—craftsmanship, integrity, excellence, and legacy—are thoughtfully expressed in every bespoke confection and client experience.
As a fourth-generation baker, Andrea continues a family tradition rooted in the late nineteenth century. What began with treasured recipes, time-honored techniques, and traditions passed from mother to daughter has evolved into a private luxury cake atelier where culinary heritage, refined artistry, and modern celebration converge.
Beyond her artistry, Andrea is recognized throughout Florida for her leadership in strategic advisory initiatives, community engagement, organizational development, and the preservation of history and cultural heritage. Through the Atelier, these worlds come together—transforming generations of tradition into beautifully crafted experiences designed to be remembered.
