COME ON CAKE

EDUCATING THE DESSERT COMMUNITY
ONE CAKE AT A TIME

My Story

My grandmother has always been in the kitchen. I am from West Texas, from a small community was like an extended family. Everyone looked out for one another as a family would, and my grandmother always gave the gift of food. Growing up, I learned that food put a smile on people's faces.

As I moved to Arlington, TX to attend UTA to obtain my degree and finished college, I began taking decorating classes at the local craft store to learn how to decorate cakes. As I finished the last course, the instructor asked me to become an instructor. As time went on I taught cake decorating class but had never baked cakes for anyone due to not having any family living close to me. Then, I lost my corporate job and began to push myself to make cakes for the public.

Being self-employed and not sure how to run a business was an eye-opening experience! I then began to wonder how many other home bakers were lost like me. I began to do more research on the home bakers law in Texas and then began to speak on it to other bakers and hands-on decorating class also. Now, 17 or so years later, I have traveled the US teaching other bakers how to make money and make better cakes.
