Baked by Chef Elizabeth Casey
Pastry chef and owner Elizabeth Casey earned her culinary arts degree at Johnson & Wales University, then apprenticed for two and a half years with a master German pastry chef at a four-star resort in Southern California, a year and a half with a master French pastry chef in Northern California, and a year in a bakery in Switzerland before coming home to Worcester.
On The Rise began over twenty years ago baking for brides in the area. In 2006 the café and storefront opened in Tatnuck Square. We still serve brides across the Greater Metro-West area and partner with venues such as Harrington Farms.
We use fresh, organic and locally-sourced ingredients as much as possible — our dairy is hormone/steroid free from Cooper’s Hilltop Farm in Rochdale. The case changes every week based on what’s in season.
Our cake flavors
