Where did my love for baking start?

My passion for baking started as a young girl watching my Italian grandmother make bread (she came to America as an orphan at age 5). While the other children played outside I watched intently as she prepared her famous anise bread, cookies, biscotti, pasta, sauce, and the tiny details of making gnocchi. I was hooked.

In high school I taught myself how to decorate cakes and have never to this day taken a class. We didn’t have Youtube, Google or other ways to learn – so I taught myself. In college I worked in a bakery and watched a Master decorator make gorgeous cakes. She allowed me to work alongside her as I gleaned from her expertise.

Since then I have designed and made thousands of cakes, cupcakes and cookies for family, friends and customers.

Do I have a Cookbook?

Yes. When I became a mom, I ended my career working in bakeries and starting making cakes from home for friends and family. I also developed a technique called, “The Write Way to Cake Decorating” which turned into a best-selling cookbook – Creative Cakes Anyone Can Make
