Let's keep it simple, our mission is:

Kakes & Kanvas helps our community feel good about themselves through kindness and creativity

That's it

We're building a community that makes a positive impact by treating people right, with kindness.

We don't do business with nasty people

"It's such a refreshing change being able to have regular face to face interactions with our customers"

Kali

Kalia’s love for the arts and baking started at a young age, baking her first solo cake at the age of 6.

Excelling at school/personal art projects, often having her artwork/projects showcased at the front office and/or outside the classroom.

Throughout her life Kalia has strived to make this world a better place with her art and baking, to brighten the day of individuals in the slightest of ways.

Nonno immigrated from northern Italy,  leaving his bakery behind and opening a new one in Revelstoke BC to become the town's resident baker.

As his family grew one day he found himself with a devoted little shadow by the name of Kali doggedly terrorising his every move. 

He had a kindred spirit in the little terror though he would seldom admit it, you would much more frequently hear him exclaim in his thick Italian accent,

“Kalia, shut up a little bit!”

At the time she was quietly ashamed of feeling this way but since came to realise many of us have these feelings.  If we are encouraged to express ourselves we can help each other work through our troubles together. 

After feeling displaced for sometime she decided it was time to take action.

If Nonno was brave enough to move his life across the world and start a business then she could start one in her home town. Kali began to pursue her dream, and Kakes & Kanvas was born.

Kakes & Kanvas is an idea, the same idea that gathers people around a birthday cake, a wedding cake, the mona lisa, or a starry night, it’s the sense of togetherness, it’s the joy and creativity that makes us social creatures, a respite from the troubles we all share. It’s a community.

A charming Australian gentleman by the name of Luke entered her life.

Luke returned to Australia in January 2020 to finish his marketing degree. 

Then Covid struck the world

Since travel was restricted during the pandemic Luke began to help build Kakes & Kanvas remotely

Kali and Luke maintained a long distance relationship for 18 months until Luke finally got permission from the government to travel to Canada.
