Owner, Yasome Cakes

SWEETENING MARYLAND, DC AND VIRGINIA

Yasome Cakes is a minority and woman-owned small business creating and delivering customized cakes and baked goods throughout the DMV.

“Yasome Cakes” is the brainchild of founder and Chief Baker, Yasra Ruvin – the culmination of her amazing journey from refugee to artisanal cake maker – and, some day, the owner of a brick and mortar patisserie.

Originally a web-designer and accomplished photographer, Yasra has had a love and passion for the culinary arts since childhood.

According to Yasra, she loves sharing her passion for cooking, baking, and entertaining – with nothing bringing her as much joy than seeing her friends and family happy and enjoying her creations at a kitchen party.

In fact, Yasome Cakes was born in Yasra’s kitchen, after her first attempt to bake a designer cake for her son’s sixth birthday.  The process – and of course her son’s reaction to the final result – brought her so much joy, she immediately knew this was what she was meant to do.

But that passion is also backed up with some serious skills!

Surrounded by powerful, rock star women in the kitchen – including her mom – Yasra spent her formative years immersed in diverse culinary traditions, from Middle Eastern to North African, to Modern American.  Drawing on those traditions, Yasra also learned baking at the hands of her father, a seasoned chef of 30 years.

Today, Yasra hopes that Yasome Cakes’ amazing and delicious customized creations bring you and your loved ones as much joy and happiness as making them has brought her.

Located in Montgomery County, Maryland, Yasome Cakes provides no-cost delivery across the DMV Region.
