I'm Rhiannon, the heart and hands behind Artfully Meraki. My work centers on artistry and a deep respect for craft. Using paintbrushes, palette knives, and hand-applied techniques, I create design-led wedding cakes that are editorial, sculptural, and emotionally expressive.

While the visual details often draw people in, the experience itself carries equal weight. I work by commission, approaching each cake with clarity and care so the process feels steady, guided, and well structured. From our first conversation to the final design, my role is to offer calm assurance and creative direction.

A wedding cake should feel composed rather than rushed, and personal without becoming overwhelming. This perspective shapes both the designs I create and the way I work with my clients, allowing space for emotion, artistry, and confident decision-making.

I serve couples throughout Grand Rapids, Holland, Saugatuck, and across West Michigan who value artistry, quality, and a more intimate, design-focused experience. The cake experience is outlined below.

As a one-woman wedding cake studio and a creative soul at heart, I love pouring myself into mediums that showcase my passions. As the blank slate of a cake has become my preferred canvas for my artistic endeavors, it only makes sense to pursue what I’m most passionate about. So begins this new chapter of offering beautifully unique, handcrafted wedding cakes that are art inspired, flavor forward, artfully meraki.
