So.. you want to know a little bit more about me, huh? Well, as far as baking is concerned, I officially started very young when my cousins and I would decorate Christmas cookies at grandma's house every year. I also ADORED my easy bake oven (what young girl in the 80's didn't?), and my Fisher Price kitchen.
My mom and I took a cake decorating class together when I was young, so I guess you could say I had some training! When I was in college, my mom and her friends started making decorated sugar cookies for events other than Christmas, and I became intrigued. The first time I took on an event with them was my oldest nephew's first birthday in 2006 (Spongebob theme!), and that's it - I was hooked for good!
I focused on cookies for a couple years before I started dabbling in cupcakes and cakes. Every new order presents a challenge to me, and I welcome them! Not everything turns out the way I picture it in my head, but that's how I learn, and I get a tad bit more comfortable with my skills every day.

Outside of baking I have quite a few other passions. For one, I'm a perpetual student. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Sociology in 2005, and decided to go back to school to pursue nursing after that. After a long wait, I finally got accepted into a nursing program and I'll be done in spring of 2012. The only thing I love more than baking is caring for people, and I am SO passionate about having a career as a nurse.
Another passion I have is travelling. I studied abroad in Brazil during undergrad, and since then have not had the opportunity to travel as much as I would like, but every chance I have is embraced with open arms!
My final passion is spending time with friends, family and animals. A perfect evening to me is one at home with my boyfriend and puppy. They're my favorite cuddle buddies and constantly bring a smile to my face. I love my quirky, bubbly, boisterous family and all of our events are filled with wonderful memories. They are my biggest fans - and everything I do is extra special because of the unwavering support I get every day.
