About Me:

My name is Katie Baird and I am a sophomore at Millikin University in the oh so charming city of Decatur Illinois. I am currently earning a BFA commercial art/computer design degree with an emphasis in drawing. I run an Etsy store (www.cakeeaters.etsy.com) and a blog (www.katieeatscake.com). I spend the rest of my time doodling, embroidering, making softies, knitting, eating olives, paper cutting, and staring at my bun Rothko.

Other interests include antique collecting, coffee, worms, animal teeth, lemons, patron saints, lomography, x-rays, trumpet solos, veladoras, fishing lures, ornate gold things, cute animals, typography, vintage children’s book illustrations, feathers, peppermint, tap dancing, side shows, sea glass, apothecaries, teacups, totem poles, and marigolds.
