About
Elise Thomas, Greater Boston Area Ambassador
Tell us a little bit about yourself…
I live in South Boston with my husband, Gregg, and have two children, ages 20 and 22. My oldest son has a severe peanut and nut allergy which motivated me to bake all of my children’s birthday cakes while they were growing up. I have also made many birthday and celebratory cakes and cupcakes for friends over the years.
When I’m not baking, you can find me skiing, hiking, reading, traveling, or working as a crisis counselor for The Trevor Project.
What or who inspired your love of baking?
My children inspired me to bake and be creative. I loved seeing their delight at the cake creation each birthday! My favorite thing to bake is cupcakes. I particularly enjoy working with fondant to make theme-specific designs.
What is the first thing you ever baked?
The first thing I ever baked was a donut recipe I read about in a Winnie-the Pooh book when I was about 7. My grandmother and I made it together!
