Chante Bernard grew up watching her grandmother cook delicious meals and bake amazing desserts and biscuits from scratch for her family of 16 children and many grandchildren, so it wasn’t surprising that she would develop an affinity for baking at 12 years old.  Chante comes from a family of many great cooks and bakers and calls herself a California girl with Southern roots because her dad was born in Natchez, Mississippi, and mom in Augusta, Georgia.  Coming from a big family, her dad entertained constantly.  One year, he was planning his big “to do” and she told him I’ll bake the cakes for the party and the rest is history. From a very young age, she knew baking was her passion, but did it for fun; not considering it could one day become her career.  It wasn’t until she earned her BA Degree in Communication that Cakes By Chante was born.  She loves creating new recipes, and is known for making the best Red Velvet Cake in town, and a luscious Lemon Raspberry Cake that will melt in your mouth.When Chante is not baking, she enjoys spending time with her family.  She has also dedicated most of her career to working for a non-profit child care resource and referral agency.  www.cakesbychante.com   We know Houston is horrible terrible so was/is NOLA, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Irene, Matthew, Super Storm Sandy and others.
