Meet the Owner: Candice

Hi there, I'm Candice – your dedicated creator of all things floral and culinary at Pollen and Pastry. When I'm not immersed in my design work, you can find me tending to my garden, embarking on various house projects, or indulging in a relaxing episode of Fixer Upper. With a passion for crafting textural, garden-inspired floral designs and decadent desserts that evoke sentiment and nostalgia, I cater to individuals who hold a deep appreciation for life's celebratory moments.

As a Certified Floral Designer (CFD) and Illinois Certified Professional Florist (ICPF), I take pride in my craft and have garnered recognition for my artistic abilities through numerous wedding blogs and design awards. Being an active member of esteemed associations like the Illinois State Florists' Association, Chapel Designers, and the Illinois Cake Exploration Society fuels my passion for continuous education. My dedication to self-improvement is evident as I decorate for weekend events while absorbing valuable insights from business-focused podcasts.
