Hi Jean! Thanks so much for the kind words! I really do want to start teaching classes this year, but I don’t have any set up yet. I’ll totally let you know when I do!

Im in Salem, and would love to know if you are teaching a class somewhere.

Thank you so much, Mikel! So good to hear I’m not alone in having to learn that lesson of returning to the joy of baking. Phew 🙂 Cheering you on in your baking journey and hope this year is an awesome one for you too!

I completely understand about the pressure of baking for others and returning to the joy of it. It’s sort of a vicious cycle to be passionate about creating something that others are equally passionate about consuming!

I look forward to seeing more of your work and seeing what fortune this year brings to you!

Hi Debbra! Thank you so much for the kind words about my cakes and I’m so excited for you to get back into caking! Baking is still a side gig for me (I work full time in marketing during the day) but it’s my favorite creative outlet. I hope to someday have a little studio or shop to make cakes in but until then, everything I do is created in my home kitchen. Gotta start somewhere!

I just came across your Instagram page kind of by accident and I just have to tell you how much I absolutely LOVE your style and creativity!
I have a pretty long history of cake decorating, but took a good number of years off to raise my two daughters.
I returned to work part time doing frozen cakes for a local froyo shop, (which has been quite the interesting change) but my real dream is to do something more exquisite much like yourself.
I’m just curious, do you do all of your baking and decorating at home, or do you have a separate place of business?
