About Torino Baking

Torino Baking is synonmous with Julie Durkee, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy (CCA). When you order a cake from Torino, it will be made by Julie herself. Julie specializes in creating delicious cakes in any shape or taste. Whether you want elegant, whimsical, serious, or silly, your cake will be utterly delicious.

To start the process, your first step is to contact Julie by email or phone (510-548-2900). We will set up a meeting where you can look through her books of photographs and taste samples of her cakes. Everything we do will be geared towards making it easy for you to have your cake as you imagine it.

The galleries on this site will give you some samples of Julie's imagination, the cake options page will explain a bit more about how she works, the accolades page will give testimonials by previous clients, and you can read articles about Julie as well as a brief biography.
