Welcome to the Intensive Cake Unit!
Hey there! I'm Sarah Hollingworth - the baker behind the 'Intensive Cake Unit' recipes and videos!
I'm an Intensive Care staff nurse by profession, and a part-time baking enthusiast with about 20 years experience in the kitchen. My husband and I have been married almost 8 years - which doesn't seem possible, but I checked and it's true! We currently live and work in Tennessee, where we moved a handful of years ago after our first baby was born. I'm in the busy mom stage of two littles - a preschooler and an almost-toddler!
In my off hours, I'm a self-taught baker de-stressing by spending time in the kitchen! Recipe testing is one of my favorite pastimes.
My favorite thing to make in the kitchen will always be cakes, but I also dabble in cupcakes, cheesecakes, baked donuts, and hot cocoa bombs. 🙂 I've learned from family and friends, cookbooks, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and lots of trial-and-error! (Emphasis on that last one, actually. :/ )
As I tried out more and more recipes, I began taking desserts with me to work, parties, etc. Word of mouth being what it is - soon I was taking cake orders! Then, as I started posting more photos of the things I was making - I began getting recipe requests!
This site was created to share recipes, pictures, videos, tips, tutorials, and ideas! My goal is to inspire more people to try their hand at baking - and hopefully spare you some of the mistakes I made along the way! 😉 Have a look around - and enjoy!
How to reach me -
Please feel free to send me an email with any questions or feedback! I try to respond within 24 hours (though life happens, especially with 2 small kiddos).
I also love taking recipe requests - if there's anything you'd love to see on the site / socials, please let me know!
