Brooke Caldwell is one of Love and Sweet Bakery’s five club co-leaders. They are a senior in high school, and have been baking for as long as they can remember. Though her earliest creations were nothing more than concerning concoctions made from the scraps of what her mom was actually baking. Baking has been a constant love throughout their life, and they’d like to think they’ve come a long way since they were a toddler making “eggshell soup.” During her time in high school, she has gained experience selling custom cakes and other desserts, and won her school’s cake decorating competition sophomore year. Brooke is honored to provide baked goods to Seattle’s community as one of Love and Sweet bakery’s co-leaders.

Kira is currently a sophmore at Lakeside school. She is part of the Lakeside crew team, and she also plays cello, which she has been doing for nearly 8 years. She loves baking in her free time so she's so glad that she has an opportunity to use her passion for a good cause. 

Shobha is currently a junior at Lakeside School. She loves baking and is enthusiastic about utilizing that love for a good cause. She spends most of her time dancing and engaging with performing arts as a whole including singing and acting. She’s also passionate about service which inspired her to join this team and work towards something that can serve the greater community.

Imelda Ramirez has a six-year-old brother and a one-year-old sister. She has lived in numerous places around the world, such as the Philippines, New York City, and Massachusetts. When not in school or playing soccer, Imelda loves to bake. Her favorite baked goods to make are apple crisps, cookies, macarons, and savory pies. Imelda’s goals for this club as a member of the leadership team are to make delicious treats, help the community, and have fun! 

Isabella is a senior at Lakeside School. She discovered her passion for food in 6th grade when her family started watching Food Network shows together (her favorites were Cutthroat Kitchen and Guy’s Grocery Games). Since then, she has continued to hone her cooking and baking skills, and when the opportunity was presented to be a part of Love and Sweet Bakery, she knew she HAD to join. What could be better than combining baking with service? She is now a lead secretary for the organization, and when it comes to baking, she'd say her specialty is making delicious vegan treats!
