Lower sugar southern pound cakes, the bakery’s specialty, hold a unique place in Shai’s heart. ButterQueen Bakery is an online, ghost kitchen that successfully crafts high-quality southern-style pound cakes. Shai’s creativity shines through in innovative flavors, such as the popular Sweet Potato Cheesecake Pound Cake, which can also be made vegan.
While the name suggests butter-centric fare, ButterQueen Bakery embraces diversity with vegan and gluten-free options. Shai encourages customers to embrace new experiences, assuring them that vegan cakes retain the moist, buttery taste we all cherish.
Growing up in a family of culinary experts, Shai draws inspiration from her great-grandma, a school cook and baker who crafted meals from scratch for hundreds. Shai’s grandma, though not in culinary as a day job, instilled a love for quality, real ingredients—a legacy Shai continues. For her, preparing desserts isn’t just about creating something; it’s about evoking a nostalgic feeling and fostering bonds over homemade delights.
Beyond baking, Shai is committed to supporting marginalized communities. Through mentoring, connecting talents to opportunities, and donations, ButterQueen Bakery strives to make a positive impact.
In the face of a PCOS diagnosis, Shai prioritized holistic health, translating this commitment into dairy-free, lower sugar alternatives. ButterQueen Bakery reflects her belief that you can savor the essence of southern cuisine without compromising health or taste.
