Elizabeth Stewart is the owner of a small cake shipping company in the USA called The Mystical Buddha Cake Shop. She’s known as The Mystical Baker. But it was meditation that first inspired her beautiful baking. “I have been meditating for six years,” she tells OM. “It has changed my life in so many positive ways and has helped me deal with life and everything that goes with it.”
One day, inspired by her practice, she came up with the idea of adorning her creations with golden Buddhas, lotus flowers and other deities, as well as the Om symbol. She says the cakes are created to bring a smile to her customers’ faces and to inspire happiness in all that see (and eat!) them. “When I make these cakes, my mind does not think, it just flows while I create.”
