Congratulations on Your Engagement!

NBC News Anchor, Tom Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, with me, celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary with a replica of their wedding cake.

Thank you for taking the time to look through my website and giving me the opportunity to help you design and create a unique cake for your special day!

I’ve been baking and decorating cakes for 17 years now. My mother decorated cakes, so I grew up with lots of sweetness. I guess I thought everyone’s mom decorated really cool cakes like mine!

While I enjoyed watching my mother make cakes, I decided to go to college for teaching. I enjoyed the French language and culture and decided to pursue teaching this subject. I was able to study abroad in Paris for a year, and this is where I fell in love again with baking and pastries! When I returned to the U.S., I decided to open my own cake shop. I found it to be a wonderful artistic outlet. I also enjoy the happiness it brings to my clients. I have also completed my masters in teaching and currently teach French part-time at the University of South Dakota.

I believe what makes my cakes stand out is ingredients and freshness. I use real sweetcream butter and milk in my frosting, unlike most grocery store cakes. I believe that taste should not be compromised when creating such an important wedding memory.

My husband, Dwight, and children, Erica, Amanda, Lindsay, Derek, and Lucas, have always been wonderfully supportive. Derek and Lucas have become quite the cookie makers!

Once again, thank you for visiting and I hope to hear from you soon!

Best Wishes!
