Earthy's modest cake is the Yay Cake. It features a foundation of organic stone-milled spelt and pressed macadamia nut meal, creating a buttery, nutrient-dense sponge with a velvet-white crumb. It is layered with hand-picked wild raspberries and a cloud of whipped organic coconut cream, finished with a dusting of powdered coconut snow that honors the unadorned purity of ingredients plucked directly from the trees

The Universal Blossom Cake features a foundation of organic Einkorn ancient-grain sponge and Bulgarian Rose-infused cream, creating a rustic, botanical canvas rooted in 10,000 years of agricultural history. At its heart is a global mosaic of Mediterranean Mission figs, toasted hazelnuts, and stone fruits, topped with Morello cherries and edible blossoms that celebrate Earthy’s 4.5-billion-year journey across every continent. Leave no Slice behind
The Mara des Bois Cake features a foundation of stone-milled Rouge de Bordeaux heirloom wheat and silky Crème d’Isigny, creating a rich, floral canvas for its star ingredient. At its heart lies a vibrant mosaic of organic Mara des Bois strawberries, prized for their rare wild-berry aroma and sweetened naturally with delicate, vanilla-noted Acacia honey.

The Coral Reef Pavlova features a foundation of organic wattle seed-infused meringue and velvety Tasmanian Leatherwood honey cream, creating a nutty, floral canvas inspired by Australia’s ancient landscapes. Its crown is a vibrant "reef" of sculpted white chocolate coral and Davidson plums, finished with finger lime pearls that burst with the sharp, citrus-caviar essence of the rainforest.

Jamie Kvittem believes the earth is a wondrous playground for everyone to explore and celebrate. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Jamie blends her professional background in high-tech, clean-tech, and sustainable design with a lifelong love for the outdoors. Her connection to nature took root early on. Growing up in the country in Rosemount, Minnesota, she liked to spend her summer days playing in the woods, collecting agates, picking strawberries and performing made-up plays. This bond is best captured by a favorite memory from her "golden birthday," when her wish was for a willow tree. As that tree grew tall and strong, it became a symbol of the imagination and growth she champions today. This creative spark eventually led her back to a character she first envisioned while studying sustainability: Earthy.
Earthy is a lovable, relatable character created for all ages—a friendly guide to a more balanced, sustainable lifestyle. Jamie’s work focuses on helping us all find a joyful harmony between "screen-time" and "green-time," encouraging a healthy rhythm between our modern digital lives and the natural world.
With Earth Day celebrated in over 190 countries, Jamie hopes that welcoming Earthy into our lives will spark a greater sense of mindfulness. By treating every day like Earth Day, we can build meaningful traditions that celebrate ourselves, each other and the Earth for years to come.
