I started decorating cakes for my children, friends and family fourteen years ago. My first cakes were a teddy bear, dalmation and strawberry shaped cake. While at the library one day with my two children, Piper and Blake, I found a book, Cakes By Design, by Scott Clark Wooley and Michael G. Farace. Their specialty was flowers made from sugar and basket cakes. I literally could not put the book down. I received a gift certificate from my family for tools and a signed copy of the book. The rest is history!
Seven years ago I installed a commercial kitchen in my basement and received certification from the state of Wisconsin and the Village of Shorewood. I have had the pleasure of helping hundreds of people with their celebrations ranging from weddings, birthdays and anniversaries to baby showers and bar mitzvahs.
Neiman Marcus sold a decorated caramel apple in their annual Christmas Catalog for two years. I designed the apple and drop-shipped it from my home.
Last year I
entered a QVC search
contest for new ideas. QVC liked my idea and
offered me air-time and
a spot on QVC.com. My new product,
the CakeVase, avoids
the time and expense
that custom cakes require. By using the
CakeVase, anyone can
create a bouquet/centerpiece
cake quickly and easily. All you
need is home-baked or
store-bought cake, and
fresh flowers from your
garden or the store.
I would like to add more shapes and sizes to the CakeVase collection in the future but for now would like to get this product into as many homes as possible. Please send me your photos so I can add them to my website to inspire other home bakers and entertainers. I would also like to hear your suggestions and comments!
