Kelli Marks

Kelli Marks is a self-taught cake decorator turned pastry chef. She is the owner of Sweet Love, a brick-and-mortar shop now operating as a cottage bakery specializing in wedding cakes. Her interest in baking began early under the tutelage of her grandmother. Her love of art and drawing bloomed into a hobby of creating ephemeral art through food. Her desserts have been featured in her local market in Weddings in Arkansas, Arkansas Life, Soiree, and Arkansas Bride; nationally in Southern Living, Southern Bride, and Taste of the South; and globally in Eat Smarter. Other recipes appear in The Modern Arkansas Table, Another Slice of Arkansas Pie, and 43 Tables: An Internet Community Cooks During Quarantine. She spends any time she’s not covered in frosting with her dogs, Presley and Phoebe, or on a beach with her husband, Brad.
