Reva is a life long baker, starting out like most of us as the “go to” source for sweets within in her family. As a graduate of the distinguished California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, she has studied baking and pastry with industry leaders and continues to value the importance of education both as a student and an instructor. In 2002, Reva officially launched her own cake and pastry business, Merci Beaucoup Cakes. Calling on her connections in the Los Angeles area, she developed a glowing reputation as a high end cake decorator, supplying cakes across California and beyond. Her efforts landed her on three seasons of the show “Amazing Wedding Cakes,” which has aired globally in over a dozen countries. It remains an experience that has opened up many wonderful opportunities to share her skills with the cake community from North America to Europe and become a trusted name in the sugar arts. Reva’s fun, whimsical style is the result of her personality, a true cake decorator who’s goal is always to make people smile, a feat she has accomplished from L.A. to New York to Atlanta and all across the United States! Entering the next decade of Merci Beaucoup, Reva has taken on new challenges; moving her operations to the East Coast, appearing on numerous Food Network programs, writing books, and expanding her teaching efforts.
