1.  How did you get started in the Cake business? I was always the one who made the over the top cakes for my kids and parties, and an old h.s. pal talked me into making her wedding cake.  I stood back when I was done and knew I had just figured out what I wanted to do with my life.

2.  Where are you located?

Denver, CO

3.  How long have you been in business?

I officially started making wedding cakes in 1998, but got serious about it when I moved to Denver in 2001.

4.  What is your philosophy when it comes to weddings and the cakes  you make?

I believe the wedding cake should reflect the couple’s personality and style.  I like to think outside the box and tend to attract clients who do the same.  This doesn’t necessarily mean they all want crazy colors and designs, but they’re looking for someone who can give their cake the “wow” factor.  That’s what I want when someone sees one of my cakes.  I want them to say, “Wow!”

5.  What makes you stand out?  (Something special about your business)

I’m not afraid to be whimsical.  I’m an artist first and will gleefully work with any medium to create my client’s vision.

6.  What is your favorite thing about what you do?

To me there is nothing more rewarding than bringing a smile to someone’s face with cake!  And I get to use my artistic skills to do so

7.  Is there anyone or anything that inspires you and the cakes you make for weddings?

The amazing Colette Peters and Mike McCreary are just incredible cake artists… and of course, Duff Goldman.  I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Duff for several years and when I was just getting started he was such a positive influence for me.

Fun Questions:

8.  What is your favorite book?

I can’t pick just one!  Interview With a Vampire… and The Dark Tower (the whole series… can’t just pick one!)

9.  What is your favorite sound?

The wind through pine trees high up in the mountains

10.  What is your favorite smell?

The ocean

11.  What is your favorite color?

Deep red (I bet you guessed that)

12.  What is your favorite food?

Rare steak and sushi.
