About
Meet Alexandra Kowaleski.
Behind Spilled Milk Cake Boutique is Alexandra Kowaleski, a Charleston custom cake baker creating simple, modern cakes for weddings, birthdays, engagements, showers, and beautiful celebrations.
The story
A Charleston cake studio, made personal.
Alexandra grew up in the kitchen and started working in a bakery while she was still in high school. After moving to Charleston, she continued building experience across restaurant, pastry, bakery, and hospitality environments before launching Spilled Milk Cake Boutique in January 2024.
Today, Spilled Milk Cake Boutique focuses on wedding cakes, birthday cakes, and custom celebration cakes made with local, upscale ingredients and thoughtful details. Alexandra keeps her designs simple and modern while creating a personal ordering experience for every client — from the smallest details, like customizable sprinkles, to the house-made extracts in every recipe.
