What motivated you to start your business?
Curiosity. Scrolling through an endless stream of baking videos online, made me say to myself: “Hm, I wonder how they made that.” Next thing you know, I went to closest Michaels, bought a few tools for baking cupcakes, and made my first batch of vanilla cupcakes with my signature cream cheese frosting that I still use today. Next step was to try baking a cake for a family. Equipped with a basic recipe, I made simple but super delicious cake that my whole family loved. Encouraged by my success, I began experimenting with different flavors and designs. My friends and family became my enthusiastic taste-testers, and their praise fueled my passion. One day, a close friend ordered a cake for her husband’s birthday. The idea seemed daunting but exciting. Driven by curiosity and a desire to share my creations, I decided to give it a shot and make a cake for MONEY for the first time. Once again, success and my friends praise started a fire in me. Now I knew I could make beautiful and delicious cakes not just for fun, but I could also perfect it to a level where I could make cakes for a living.

What do you think is essential for any wedding cake?
Honestly, I tell all of my couples who are planning their big day is to enjoy the process. It might sound silly, but hear me out. The preparation takes a while, may get stressful, and the wedding day will fly in one minute. And I would hate for newlyweds to only remember the stress of preparation. Do NOT focus on what people think and what they want. It’s your day! Have fun!
How far in advance should couples book you business?
3-6 months usually gives us enough of time to figure out all the details and come up with a plan.
Tell us what makes your business stand out?
Attention to details. One of my biggest compliments from clients is that I ask them questions about such small details that they would never even thought of. When client is not sure what will look best I come up with multiple sketches to give them visual options. I never start the project until my client is 100% satisfied with our plan. They always appreciate it.
