ABOUT US
NICKEY MILLER - CO-OWNER
FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER, ILLUSTRATOR, FOOD+PROP STYLIST
JOSIE RUDDERHAM - CO-OWNER
FOOD STYLIST, WRITER
It all started with a dream shared over coffee between college friends and business partners in Hamilton, ON. Genuinely passionate about food, sustainability, and community, they wanted to create a bakery with a dynamic atmosphere that fosters creativity and equality. In the early years, Josie focused on pastry and wholesome bread products, while Nickey created and artistically hand-crafted custom cakes and sweets. Both have now stepped back to focus on the business rather than getting messy but they are elbow to elbow with the talented C&L team during the Holidays. Today and for the past 10 years, a living-wage employer, Cake & Loaf is beloved for its stand-out baked goods and positive message.

DELICIOUS PRAISE!
“The thing that I love about Cake & Loaf is not just that it is a cookbook based on the real-world bakery experience of Nickey and Josie, but that it is about more than just baking. It is a book that comes at the subject of baking not just by way of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs, but also by sustainability and responsibility. It's nice to know how to make delicious breakfast pastries and party cookies, but it is so much better when we are shown how to make choices in our kitchen that we can all feel are healthy for ourselves and our planet.”
“Cake & Loaf truly delivers comfort food at its sweetest with this book! From the Funfetti Sugar Cookies to their Pecan Butter Tart Cheesecake, there’s something for everyone and we can’t wait to dig in.”
