Sisters and cake artists Condra Easley and Deborah Morris moved from Aspen, Colorado to Sonoma County in 1995. In Aspen they provided cakes for Hollywood celebrities, media moguls and vacationing excutives. Kevin Costner, Cher, Lee Iacocca, Goldie Hawn, Michael Eisner, Richard Wagner and Jill St. John turned to Condra for sweets. The sisters also made desserts for many restaurants and hotels.
Upon settling in Sonoma County their focus has been retail, wholesale and mail order. They quickly garnered fame for their visually stunning wedding cakes. In 2004 they relocated to the wonderfully quirky town of Sebastopol.
Pastry Chef Condra Easley received her formal training at several prestigious pastry shops in Paris including Fauchon with Pierre Herme and la Maison du Chocolat. Her educational background includes studies at Cacoa Barry School in France, Callebaut College in Belgium and skills classes with the British Sugar Craft Guild in England. Chef Easley is an adjunct instructor for the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena. She teaches advanced decoration and wedding cake design to professional chefs.
Deborah Morris lends her creative hands with all aspects of the business including designing and creating their award winning wedding cakes.
In the style of her European teachers, Condra believes that great pastry is about bringing together perfect ingredients to create intense, memorable and above all, deeply satisfying flavors. Patisserie Angelica has been featured in many major bridal, cooking and trade magazines. Condra’s recipes have appeared in Bon Appetit, Chocolatier, Food and Beverage World and Modern Baking magazines.
