Based in Winston-Salem, NC, Beauty From Life Baking is a wedding cake provider. Anna Otto is the professional behind this company who started baking at the age of two. She is passionate about creating desserts that are both aesthetic and delicious, helping to enhance a couple's big day.
Growing up, Anna has many fond memories of time spent with her family in the kitchen. It was no wonder then that Anna discovered joy in baking. After making her first dessert on her own and seeing how much her family loved the results, she realized that creating desserts can be a way of showing others your love for them. Later, Anna went on to be the head of cakes at a local bakery before establishing her own business.
Beauty From Life Baking can create cakes, as well as dessert bars, cupcakes, cookies, and more. There are a variety of flavors to choose from, including but not limited to blackberry wine, blueberry, carrot, and chocolate caramel. Anna provides consultations, tastings, delivery, and setup, aiming to simplify the cake-ordering process.

my all time favorite part of planning our wedding. My husband, sister, and I all went into the tasting with high expectations and we left absolutely blown away. Each of us said it was the best cake we had ever had…and I have had lots of cake! Everything was so good we decided to do cupcakes in all four flavors that we tried for our fall wedding. I never felt pressured by Anna and instead felt supported and encouraged. She delivered everything day of and I never once had a worry about it. All of our guests loved the cake and cupcakes and raved about how amazing they were! She is worth the money and then some! You will certainly be thankful that you chose such a wonderful human being to be a part of your wedding day A- team! Thanks Anna for all that you do!

ivered. Our entire families raved about how delicious, moist, and flavorful each was. We froze some leftover cake from the wedding and it tasted just as good after we returned from our honeymoon. The best part: Anna uses as much local, organic, and natural ingredients as possible, which is so refreshing. We will absolutely be having Anna make us more cakes in the future!
