Jennifer Shea Reviews

Jennifer Shea was a baker and dessert-maker extraordinaire ever because she leveraged her grandma’s preferred pumpkin roll recipe into 4-H ribbons as a small girl. Over time, she became the most trusted yumminess go-to for friends, baking up innumerable confections for baby showers, birthday parties and weddings. Finally, Jennifer joined her personal and professional baking passions with a nutrition degree from Bastyr University. At Bastyr, she didn't turn into a sworn enemy of all things pleasant. Instead, she learned the importance of quality ingredients—a signature that amuses her baking now.

At 2007, Jennifer and her husband Michael Williamson flipped to the classic schoolhouse lights at their first Trophy shop in Wallingford Center—and Seattleites started lining up for Trophy’s mouthwatering masterpieces. Clients and press commended Jennifer’s cupcakes, and Martha Stewart lauded them as “utterly delicious” once Jennifer appeared on Martha’s series in 2008. Her cupcakes have also been featured in Vanity Fair and Sunset Magazine and also on The Food Network. Trophy was voted “Best Cupcake Shop” for many years running from Seattle Magazine, that recently named Jennifer #21 in the “Leading 70 Power Players of those Seattle Food World”.

Five Trophy locations (University Village, Pacific Place, CenturyLink Field, Husky Stadium and The Bravern in Bellevue), along with a five-year-old son (Fleetwood) afterwards, Jennifer runs to a lot these days. In her “spare” time, Jennifer can be vacationing in support of the newest novel (Trophy Cupcakes and Parties! , Sasquatch, September 2013) and dreaming up and testing exotic cupcake flavors like Orange Almond Rose and Lavender Crème Brûlée — adding to her endlessly creative, tasty desserts.
