The founder
Estelle Sohne
Growing up a third-generation mixed-race kid in the cosmopolitan city of Accra, Ghana, I never felt I completely belonged to a single place or culture. At our family dining table, we ate food from around the world and my ears were filled with the sounds of English, Ewe, Fanti, French, Ga, German, Hausa and Twi.
Now that I have adopted the United States as my country and have a French husband and bi-lingual, bi-racial, multi-cultural children, I feel even more deeply connected to a growing number of places and cultures. It is from this perspective that I noticed a gap in both the cake mix and olive oil industries and decided to create the cake mixes of my dreams to share with the world – wholesome scratch cake mixes that seat the entire world at one olive oil table.
Our delicious cakes are designed to evoke natural beauty and the tastes and smells of the countries they are from, with a twist of artistic license. It is my hope that our cake mixes inspire feelings of home, nostalgia and wanderlust.
Enjoy your cake journey!
