About Us
Edmonton Cheesecakes began as a small catalogue for co-founders Vivian Kim and Alex Ray to detail their sweet adventures around Edmonton for friends and family to read about. Their love for the dessert grew and grew, and they quickly desired to share their passion for cheesecakes with the world, or at least those in Edmonton or visiting. They’ll turn Edmonton inside out to uncover all of the cheesecakes they can find!
Although neither Vivian or Alex are professionals, they hope to share their knowledge of cheesecakes through their recipes and reviews to amateurs and experienced bakers alike. All of the recipes are crafted by Vivian and Alex with the help of the Edmonton Cheesecakes fam. Vivian and Alex hope to serve as an inspiration for others who want to take a step into the world of cheesecakes.
Edmonton Cheesecakes Family
These are the beautiful people we have to thank for allowing us to get to where we are now!
Kieran
Another cheesecake fanatic, Kieran has no qualms eating anything and everything. He’s the go-to taste tester for Vivian and Alex’s experimental recipes. When he’s not helping out with the baking, Kieran enjoys riding his bike around the city and volunteering with animal shelters. His favourite cheesecake flavours are key lime and anything chocolate.
Leanne
Leanne is definitely the chef of the EC family. She loves cooking and baking and everything in between. If there’s something Vivian or Alex are unsure of, she can figure it out in a blink. Leanne is in NAIT’s Culinary Arts program, aiming to be a pâtissier after her studies. Having a sweet tooth, her favourite kind of cheesecake is caramel apple crumble.
Sera
Need restaurant recs? Sera’s got you covered! Sera runs her own food blog, filled with all kinds of dishes you can think of. When she’s not reviewing cheesecakes in Edmonton, she’s traveling around Canada trying out anything she can get her hands on. She’s the top foodie in our family with the most sophisticated palate. Good ol’ New York-style cheesecake is among the top of Sera’s favourite cheesecakes.
