Baker & A Black Cat is a cottage bakery located near downtown Placerville, independently owned and operated by Nikki Ozawa.

After graduating with high honors from Le Cordon Bleu in patisserie and baking, she interned in the Production Bakery at Epcot, Walt Disney World, opening her bakery after returning to the Greater Sacramento area.

Nikki’s passion for the art of baking and her unique personal touches shine through everything she creates. From intricate wedding cakes to simple cupcakes, working with both buttercream and fondant elements, Baker & A Black Cat does it all!  

Thank you for voting Baker & A Black Cat as one of the Best Wedding Cake / Dessert Makers, and congratulations to all the award winners! It’s been a pleasure and a delight working with all of you, and we love every minute of it!

P.S. When I’m not baking, you’ll find me snuggling with my not-black-but-orange cat Gambit, reading a book, or enjoying tater tots at Folsom Tap House with my bestie!
