06The heart behind the cake

A creative soul.A sweeter calling.

What started as a simple curiosity during the pandemic has grown into something Nicole never imagined: a passion, a business, and a dream she hopes to build into a lifelong legacy.A pandemic curiosity that grew into a passion, a business, and a dream.

SAIT Culinary ArtsClass of 2021

  1. Chapter 01The Philippines

    Always drawn tomaking things.

    Growing up in the Philippines, Nicole loved arts and crafts: working with her hands, experimenting with ideas, and turning simple materials into something beautiful.

    Chapter 02SAIT, Calgary

    A creative streak,trained in whites.

    After moving to Canada, that creativity began to evolve. Nicole studied Culinary Arts at SAIT, Class of 2021, and found a craft people could not only see, but taste, share and remember.

  3. What began at homesoon becameNicsdelite.

    Chapter 03At home

    Her family, the first taste-testers.

    During the pandemic, baking became her creative escape: countless hours learning, researching, experimenting, and embracing every trial and error along the way.

  4. Chapter 04Out in the city

    Campus tables,pop-up stalls.

    As her cakes found their way to birthdays, weddings, baby showers and milestones, Nicsdelite began showing up in person, from SAITSA campus events to pop-up markets.

    Chapter 05Your table

    And next,your celebration.

    Because to Nicole, it has never been just about cake. It’s about the people gathered around it, the candles being blown out, and the memories created in between.
