MY BACKGROUND I began decorating cakes 20 years ago for family and friends as a hobby. I decided to take it a step further and share my passion so I became a Wilton Cake Decorating Instructor in Michael's Arts & Craft Store in North Las Vegas, NV. After several months of teaching, one of my students mentioned an opening for a cake decorator in the bakery of the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino which is where I began my new career creating wedding cakes, occasional cakes, restaurant specific cakes and so much more. Within my time at Mandalay Bay, I joined Hubert Keller's Fleur dy Lys as the Assistant Pastry Chef. I continued my Cake Decorating and Pastry career at the JW Marriott in Summerlin, Las Vegas. In keeping up with the trends, I have expanded my knowledge and creativity to include classics like the Whoopie Pie. CURRENTLY As a home based business here in Florida, I have the opportunity to be more involved with the community through local events in addition to doing my part in practice sustainability efforts through recycling and sourcing from local businesses. Please contact me with any questions, concern or comments. I look forward to baking for you!!
