Huffington Post post

Angela Haines, a freelance writer, has been posting some interesting articles on start-ups and entrepreneurs.
In her latest one, she interviewed a couple amazing women and littl' ol' me and about their career changes.
I am humbled to be considered for such a feature!

Baptism Cake

This came out so adorable! One of my favorite cakes for sure.
(The style was influenced by a piece that the customer had.)
3.5" White cake with raspberry filling.
5" White cake with vanilla buttercream.
7" Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.

This was such a sweet cake for me, it came as a referral from a neighbor, and the baptism was held at my church.
