Meet Lydia – A Passion for Baking & Artistry

Lydia owner of Lydia's cakes & confections based in Maple Valley, WA

Lydia’s journey started in 2011 when she created her first cake for a friend’s wedding. What began as a simple favor quickly turned into a deep passion, leading her to launch her own bakery, Finale – Signature Cakes by Lydia, in 2014. Her talent for sugar artistry, sculpted cakes, and handcrafted confections has earned her awards, including Best of Western Washington.

In 2019, Lydia expanded her offerings beyond cakes, opening Lydia’s Cakes & Confections to share her love of baking with even more customers. Every item she creates is made fresh, never frozen, ensuring the best quality and flavor in every bite.
