In 2005, Celine Ikeler began her journey into the world of plant-based baking when her neighbor’s daughter, Sofia, was unable to enjoy desserts due to severe dietary restrictions. That didn’t sit right with Celine, she was determined to create something sweet and satisfying that Sofia could enjoy alongside everyone else.

The result? A rich, decadent brownie that was an instant hit. Celine continued baking for Sofia and her family, and in the process discovered her own mild allergies to gluten, wheat, dairy, and eggs.

This personal connection to food and health deepened Celine’s commitment to a plant-based lifestyle. She embraced an animal-free diet, inspired by the belief that choosing plant-based foods can lighten our karmic footprint.

From her kitchen experiments came Karma Baker, a place to prove that gluten-free and vegan desserts can be every bit as indulgent as traditional ones. For years, Celine has shared that joy one gluten-free, vegan cupcake at a time, inspiring customers to believe, “You can have your cake and eat it too, without compromise.”
