As a young woman I dreamed of having such a place like this to share my love of baking and decorating so now Welcome to my little piece of heaven, a shoppe where one can imagine, have fun, create and eat the end result!

I want to dedicate this website to some wonderful family members in my life. Because of them I am doing what I love to do today. My maternal Grandmother, Syble Lucille was a wonderful baker and the biggest inspiration in my life. My paternal Grandmother, Ada Marie who managed to bake her love right into her homemade bread and molasses cookies that I had the pleasure of eating after school on Friday afternoons on my way home from school. To my mother, Rose Sharon for having so much confidence in my dreams while keeping her temper under control when she would return home to a kitchen dusted in flour and sugar in my early teens. To my sisters Anita, Patricia and Janel for giving me the honor of creating their wedding cakes. My daughter, Ashley is here in training as well as the occasional visit of my beautiful Grand daughter Sierra, now 4 1/2. And last but not least I want to thank my husband Ron for always being there for me with loving support as well as my two sons Chuck and Mike for always giving Mom the thumbs up.

The International organization of ICES has been in my life since 2002 and I want to acknowledge them for their teachings of sharing and caring of all that want to come and learn about all things sugar art related. www.ices.org
