Wayne Steinkopf

Wayne Steinkopf is co-founder and co-owner of Swank Cake Design, a contemporary
cake studio in Raleigh, North Carolina.

In 1988, Wayne’s career in cake decorating began with no formal pastry training and
only a background in auto body repair. 20 years later, after several jobs at commercial
bakeries, Wayne finally grew tired of the artistic limitations of working for someone
else and decided to start his own business. With the help of his friend Chuck, they
opened a small cake studio, one that specializes in modern decorating techniques and
chic designs.

Wayne and his business, Swank Cake Design, has been featured on TLC’s Fabulous
Cakes.

Wayne was a featured competitor on an exciting episode of TLC’s hit show Ultimate
Cake Off (season 2).

In July of 2009, Wayne assisted Ashley Vicos on her victorious Ringling Brothers
episode of Ultimate Cake Off (season 1).
