I have always been an avid cook and baker of everything from pies and tarts,
bagels and artisan breads, custards and cakes, to gourmet French, Italian,
and Polish meals. I love to entertain, and I find it immensely satisfying to
serve a guest something special.  I also feel strongly about high-quality
ingredients, and I use only the freshest and most organic products available,
both at home for my family and in my cakes.  

I started baking as a child beside my mother, who was a restaurant baker
and chef and later owned a gourmet candy store and deli, where I had my
first job.  I remember her stirring pots of bubbling caramel for fresh caramel
corn, hand dipping chocolate truffles, filling peanut butter cups, and baking
fresh bagels. She encouraged me to enter my first chocolate cake in our
county fair at the age of 15, which won Grand Prize.

I took a Wilton cake decorating course in 2001 and then had the opportunity
to do my first wedding cake  in 2002, and I found that I loved weddings!  I
won First Place for a purse and shopping bag cake at the Washington State
Cake Show in 2002, and I have also won multiple awards over the years for
my cakes, cookies, pies, candy, bagels and breads, and fresh preserves from
the garden. I completed a wedding cake course in 2007 and joined I.C.E.S.
in 2008, and we opened our beautiful new cake
studio in Post Falls in early
2009, where I
look forward to always learning and challenging myself in the
pastry arts.  

I was thrilled and honored to have been voted Spokane's Best Wedding
Cakes for 2009, and I look forward to helping you create your dream cake!
