Meet Merril, founder of Rilcakes. Merril is that girl you'd catch doodling and tinkering all the time. Back in design school, she'd regularly walk past a writing on the wall that read "Genius lies in the details" - a motto that has become her philosophy in her work. Her pastry career began in 2011 with her most valuable assets as her foundation: a head full of drawings and a pair of hands that can whisk things into morsels of beauty. Her artistic and foodie instincts have led her to evolve into a skilled pastry professional over the years. She learns something new every day. Favorites are fondant art, custom desserts, dough, mixers, and finishing elements. Every inch of her creations is beautifully crafted to sublime elegance. It has to be spot on, it has to be perfect, or it's not Rilcakes at all.
