when i moved from NY to LA in 2008, I thought 
                      a change of pace was in order... perhaps a 
                      continued pursuit of a career in ‘the biz’

                      ...but then, a year into my stay, 
                                                         cancer paid me a visit. 
           
                      instead of wondering who was going to cast me bald, i tapped into my art background and directed a lot of my energy into the kitchen, where i honed some mad fondant skills and tweaked favorite recipes that i’ve been spoiling my friends and family with over the years.  

the creative outlet that designing cakes gave me was a life-saver...and the reaction from people who see and taste the cakes is just as good, if not better, than any applause on any stage.  

this business kind of ‘found me’.  a year after starting, i found a magical big building in Santa Monica where I built my dream kitchen.  now it’s “the shop”...and it’s set up with an expo kitchen so you can pop by and watch us work!  

i feel lucky.  and happier than ever.
