Rachael Teufel, owner of Intricate Icings Cake Design, specializes in custom wedding cakes, sculpted novelty cakes, and handmade gumpaste flowers.  She started decorating about 8 years ago.  At that time she was working as a physical therapist assistant and just needed a creative outlet.  Rachael grew up baking with in the kitchen with her grandmother, so cake decorating seemed like the perfect activity.  She took a few classes and baked a few cakes for friends and family, and before she knew it, she had a business without even trying.  Rachael moved to Colorado in 2006 and that was a natural transition point for her to change careers and do something she loves… baking and decorating.

Rachael is extremely passionate about every cake she makes.  Her cakes are artwork for your tastebuds.  Rachael’s decorating style would be described as modern elegance, but prides herself in being able to create just about any design, whether it’s timeless and sophisticated or fun and whimsical.  Each cake represents a new challenge and she enjoys every step of the process, from developing the initial concept to piping the last details.   Running her own business means that she has both the responsibility and the pleasure of seeing each cake through to the end.  For Rachael, there is no greater joy than seeing her creations put a smile on someone’s face…and some Yummies in their tummies!

Rachael has been married to her wonderful husband, John, for almost ten years.  She is also the mother of a very energetic two-year old, Tyler.
