When baker Jody Stevens decided to focus on creating vegan and gluten-free cakes that were as delicious as regular ones, people told her she was crazy and it would never work. At the time, Houston was still known as a meat-and-potatoes city and not the culinary epicenter is it today.
Fortunately, Stevens didn’t listen and kept working on it. These days, she bakes dozens of cakes and cupcakes a week for what was previously an underserved market. It’s not her only accomplishment. She also spearheaded an event called The Depressed Cake Shop where baked goods — all in “depressing” colors like gray, black and white — are donated and sold to raise money for a local mental health clinic.
