Actually, it’s just me right now…
sort of.
I’m katie, the founder and Chief Executive Artisan of tulipcake.
Begun in 2015, tulipcake grew organically to employ some incredibly talented artists, students and often just willing friends.
Having weathered every “unprecedented” event we’ve had since 2015… I’ve decided in 2026 to go back to my roots.
Quality over quantity, artisan level attention to detail.
My job is to work with you to get every piece of the puzzle just right. When its time to scale, going through tulipcake ensures there are no surprises.
tulipcake was first used in 2011 as a monicker in the “Tulpicake Hospital for Dolls”. Long story short, people would mail me their wounded Blabla dolls from all over the globe, and I would hand-paint the stitches back in using the yarn from the original manufacturer, maybe take a staged photo and send it back home.
In 2015, I registered the name tulipcake and decided to focus all of my creative energy on my true obsession - digital embroidery.
We’re named tulipcake because its an anagram of my name, katie culp, and I’ve never had any better ideas. We’re still called tulipcake to be intentionally obtuse, advertising only by word-of-mouth.
tulipcake has worked with hundreds of film and television titles, businesses, entertainers, organizations and individuals, offering camera-worthy printing and embroidery services.
Documentation is required to set up a wholesale account for embroidery or DTG printing.
We are not able to accept orders from fashion brands without trademark or resale license.
It is within our rights to reject orders that promote violence, either overt or perceived.
