Welcome.You’re in the right place.
For over 25 years, I’ve worked in the luxury and ultra luxury wedding markets.
But it didn’t start there.
Designing cakes for celebrities, professional athletes, renowned wedding planners, and prominent Southern families.
Like many, I began as the neighborhood “cake lady,” building a loyal following one celebration at a time. That path led me to open a bustling wedding and special event cake retail shop with employees.
Eventually, I chose to refine my focus and return to a home-based studio where I could specialize in producing high-end wedding cakes for select wedding planners.
Having grown, pivoted, and built a sustainable business that supports both creativity and lifestyle, I am excited to share my experience and teach other cake designers how to do the same.
Whether you’re mastering delicate another sugar flower design or navigating client contracts and financials, you don’t have to choose between beauty and practicality.
That’s the heart of what I share in my workshops, my newsletter Company & Cake, and my recipe collection, The Recipes That Built My Business.
These resources are designed to save you time, money, and years of trial-and-error.
Owning a small business is a journey —and you're right where you're supposed to be. There’s something valuable in every phase, whether you're just beginning or ready to level up.
When you’re ready to build a sustainable cake business rooted in both beauty and balance, I’ll be right here to help you grow in confidence, artistry, and success.
