About 20 years ago I took Wilton cake decorating classes and learned how to decorate cakes. After I became Wilton certified, I took a position as a cake decorator for "Pastry perfection" a local bakery shop here in Boise. I worked there for about 3-5 month. While working at Pastry perfection, I put everything I learned to practice. I eventually quit my job to saty home again and be a full time mom. During the 20 years I decorated cakes for family members, weddings, birthdays, etc. It wasn't till recently, about year ago, while watching Cake Boss on tv, that I decided I could make any cake I saw being made on tv. I started taking online classes on cake decorating, watching youtube videos, and researching recipes. The first thing was naming my home business. My baby girl Kallie was lovingly given a nickname by her older brother Shawn, her nickname was "Kalliecakes" and that name seem to fit, in didn't just sound good, but it had meanin behind. I started by placing an add on Craigslist, and started a blog called "Kalliecakes", I also ordered some business cards and the business took off. I have been busy making and decorating cakes ever since.
One of the things I have done is tought my mom and sister my techniques on cake decorating. They have developed their own techniques and now are starting their own adventures. My business is growing, and, I have orders coming in a weekly basis. People are becoming familiar with our business and they become faithful customers. I thank my Father in Heaven for my talents.
