Evita Jiang

Founder and CEO

I am a recent University of Toronto graduate in Nutritional Sciences, a mental health advocate, and the founder of Bakerapy. I am inspired by my own experiences navigating mental health challenges.
I created Bakerapy to combine the therapeutic power of baking with community support and advocacy.
Having baked since I was 12, I am passionate about sharing the magic of baking as a creative outlet that fosters comfort, confidence, and connection.

Hello! I am a second-year Synthetic and Catalytic Chemistry Specialist and a physiology minor at the University of Toronto.
I transferred from the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) at a RU university in Bangkok, Thailand.

I joined Bakerapy because I have multiple disabilities myself, and also a member of the LGBTQ community. I just hope to do something back for my communities!

Leslie Arrietty Liu

Hi, I’m Leslie! I studied psychology at U of T and will continue my graduate studies there in the mental health field. I’ve also been working in women’s mental health at CAMH for over a year.
For me, baking is one of my favourite little forms of self-care. It allows me to slow down, play with ideas, and create something sweet in the middle of a busy life. I love canelés and matcha pudding `⎚⩊⎚´ -✧

Wendy Wen

Hi, I’m Wendy! I studied Human Biology at the University of Toronto, and I am the treasurer of Bakerapy.

I may not be much of a baker myself, but I definitely have a sweet tooth! Baked goods are a nice way to boost my mood and share a bit of joy with those around me.

I think Bakerapy will be a creative space where we can enjoy treats and take care of our mental health, one sweet treat at a time.

Cheryl Tang

I'm Cherie! I love everything sweet, so you'll almost always find me cafe-hopping. I love baking and cooking, especially seeing the smiles on people's faces when they try my food. That's what truly warms both the heart and the belly!

I've always believed that food is one of the greatest ways to connect with others. It brings people together, allowing us to share, learn, and understand each other beyond any barriers.

Through BAKERAPY, I hope to create meaningful experiences for the community and a safe, welcoming space where everyone can connect through food.
