Our Name.
When figuring out what to name Bee Tree Cakes, I knew I did not want a generic “Emma’s Cakes” or something along those lines. I wanted something that would remind people of their childhood; something that made other people & myself think of warmth, comfort, & joy. I want people to feel that same way when they enjoy the cakes & bakes I create for them as well. So I started to think of things, places, people, etc. that made me feel just that. One of the first things that came to mind was Winnie the Pooh. I have always loved the way that anything Winnie the Pooh has made me feel & it brought back beautiful childhood memories. I started to think of & look for ways I could relate Winnie the Pooh to a name. After some brainstorming I went to the Hundred Acre Woods map. There I found the perfect name - Bee Tree Cakes.
It was related to Winnie the Pooh, sweet honey and of course bees which have always been one of my favourite critters as well. I truly hope that when you bite into one of my bakes you feel the warmth, comfort, & joy I wish for all to feel with life’s little moments.
Meet the owner
My name is Emma Sophia Burton. I was born in Costa Rica but I am also half English. I lived in Findlay, Ohio for the seventeen years and loved growing up there. I recently moved with my husband to Perrysburg, Ohio which we have loved! I have always had a love for baking since I grew up with my mom and grandmothers baking; they definitely taught me the basics. I created Bee Tree Cakes when I was getting married in May of 2019 & decided I wanted to do my own wedding cake. From there, I created cakes for family & friends until 2021 when I decided to make this a full on business. I love creating custom designs for my clients’ cakes & having a small part to play on their special days.
