Health Scientist Turned Cake Artist
Dr. Lincoln Alexander Gibbs developed a passion for cake artistry at an early age, growing up in a home where his mother was an avid baker. She ran a small cake baking and decorating business out of their family kitchen. As a child, Lincoln would often sit on the floor, watching in awe as his mother created delicious confections from memory. She would invite him to help with various cake decorating projects, unknowingly sparking a lifelong interest in the culinary arts.
At just fifteen, Lincoln began designing and decorating cakes for local community members, including government officials. By the time he graduated from college, he had delivered over fifty custom cakes across five states and three countries.
Over the next two decades, Lincoln earned four additional degrees, including two master's degrees and a doctorate in public health. He went on to establish a successful career as a public health scientist, professor and university dean, while raising three amazing children. Despite his academic and professional commitments, his love for cake artistry never waned. He continued to design and craft custom cakes for weddings and major corporate events throughout the years.
Today, Lincoln's award-winning couture cakes have been featured on television shows like The Sherri Show and Tamron Hall, as well as in prominent publications such as PEOPLE, EBONY, ESSENCE, The Knot Magazine, Over the Moon, MunaLuchi Bride, Black Bride Magazine, Whimsical Wonderful Weddings, The B Collective, HelloBeautiful, Grand Rapids Magazine, Hour Detroit Magazine, BGW Elevate, and more.

Home Decor; Yumna Jawad of Feel Good Foodie; Lance Devereux, Courtney Ajinca, and Tori Williams, co-stars of VH1's My Celebrity Dream Wedding; Mike Hilton, cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals; Tobias Harris, NBA player for the Detroit Pistons; Kyla Ford, fitness influencer, entrepreneur, and daughter of Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, Canada; The Whitney E. Houston Legacy Foundation; and many more.
Lincoln's creations are not only visually stunning but also delicious! The Knot Wedding Magazine recognized him as a 2024 Ones to Watch honoree, and Wedding Day Magazine named Flour House Cakes & Co. one of the "Top Bakeries in the Midwest." The iconic Wilton Cakes also featured him and his phenomenal work.
A two-time winner of Cake Toppers, a cake artistry competition hosted by Buddy Valastro on Hulu and Disney+, Lincoln is also a Season 1 champion on Disney's food art competition show FOODTASTIC, streaming on Disney+. His team's life-size creation was even featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
