Chef Colleen Yaeger-Kriebel
My name is Colleen Yaeger - Kriebel, I have been baking since high school, so about 20 years now. I started out in the Culinary Arts program at Montgomery County Center for Technical Studies Norristown, Pa. I quickly became involved in some baking competitions in class and I really enjoyed this! Competitions are part of a school program called VICA Skills USA. (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) Advancing on to the district level baking competition, I took 1st place! The next level was the PA State Baking competition and I won that too! With that win, I received a bunch of scholarship offers from culinary schools all over America. I moved on to the National level Baking Competition and placed 14th out of 54 students. After that experience I decided to take advantage of the scholarships and went to study at the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park NY. At C.I.A. I was able to earn my Associate Degree in Baking and Pastry Arts, Alumni 2001.
From there I have been gaining my experience in the field through catering, hotels, restaurant a la cart service, substitute teaching at the tech school for the culinary program, managing American and French style bakery's and so on. I have really found my passion as a cake designer. Life has lead me to start my own custom cake business. We started small with a rented kitchen, a custom made refrigerator, a tiny 12 quart mixer, and a ton of passion to sell custom cakes to the world!
Most importantly , with the support of my loving husband, our family, the McKeon family and God we have made it all this way!
The business had grown so much over the past few years just by word of mouth and the facebook page that we were able expand and move right into our own store front bakery in 2011. We have also recently expanded adding a full service Cafe in the space next to the bakery!
The sky is the limit when you order cakes with us, anything you can imagine, we will create. I like to compare our style of decorating to "ace of cakes" and the "cake boss". Please call well in advance to get on our baking schedule if you are interested in having your cake truly customized by Kriebels Custom Bakers 484.679.1406
We are a custom cake Bakery with a brand new Cafe! We offer custom cakes and fine gourmet pastries at the new location. Stop in to see the beautiful new showcase and grab a fresh cup of coffee!
As always, thank you for your patronage and we look forward to creating your next dream cake!
