Cakes Are Fun

My Wilton career began as a hobby in the summer of 2006 when I took courses at Chesapeake Square with Jackie and Janice. 

I enjoyed the classes so much that I applied to become a WMI and was hired in February of 2007. 

I started teaching at AC Moore in Virginia Beach, wonderful store, awesome people but the commute was a killer.   Especially in the 100 degree heat of a Virginia Summer and with gas at over $4 a gallon!

Last summer I found out that Michael's in Chesapeake Square had an opening and applied for it, the rest as they say is history.

I love teaching Wilton classes, meeting new people (As of November 2009 I have taught almost 250 students!) and having a chance to share my passion for cake. 

I have been married to my best friend since 1991 and am a homeschooling mom of four wonderful children.
