My name is Jennifer and I run a cake decorating business out of my home. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and I'm currently (but hopefully not forever) a single mom. I have one beautiful daughter named Kayla, who is my world! I enjoy working from home and being an available mother to my daughter. It was a journey to get where I'm at, but I'm telling you it is not at all impossible. Some situations are different from others, ultimately though you are in charge of your dreams. You can create your passion into reality. You are capable to be who you want to be. You need to APPLY and TAKE ACTION!

I originally went to culinary school to learn to cook professionally and decided to do the whole 9 yards which included baking. Now I was horrible at baking and hated it, but I wanted to experience it all. Well let's just say after 6 weeks of beating the chemistry part of baking into my head, it suddenly clicked. It was as if a whole world of understanding baking just suddenly became clear to me. From there on it was a piece of cake. I loved baking. Well let's just say that in culinary school you don't get to specialize in just one area. It's basically a broad view of the culinary world and to give you a little taste of everything. Once I graduated I was excited. I wanted to continue on my knowledge.
From there I became a baker and that's where I decided I wanted to cake decorate. I happen to be lucky because I have a Wilton Cake Decorating School near me. What I didn't realize is that each class is for an individual area of cake decorating. You don't get to learn it all at once. Well let me tell you, after spending hundreds of dollars on classes, one particular class cost me $1000, I had to look for other options. I love to decorate cakes, the artistic side of it, the process of your own creation coming together; everything about cake decorating fascinates me....except for the cost of classes. So I went searching online for other alternatives and I found some great solutions.
Now not everything is for everybody but if you didn't know, there are options for everyone at any stage of cake decorating. You don't have to learn or become the cake decorator your inspired to be by paying $$$$ for individual classes. Let's be realistic, in today's society how can you, even if you wanted too. You don't have to close the door though, there are always, always a way to become who you're inspired to be!
