More Flower Styles Coming soon...
When I was a kid, I fired my mom from making my birthday cakes because she wasn't creative enough for me (sorry, mom).
But now I've turned that passion into a career + a business I love that's been going strong since 2015.
And now I'm building my library of resources to share with you what I've learned over the last decade plus of making sugar flowers, decorating cakes, and running a business as a neurodivergent woman with a lot of heart and a lot of nerdy interests.
My handmade sugar flowers ship nationwide to cake decorators and engaged couples who love gorgeous floral designs and collaborating with small businesses.
My online shop exists not just to create and sell stunning sugar flower designs (though I do really love that part), but also as a way to support my fellow creatives BTS.
From my fellow seasoned cake artists trying to figure out scaling your business, to all of the curious beginners and novices who want to build a new skillset, I'm creating tutorials and templates to teach what actually works in real-world, high-pressure cake situations—based on the all the trial and error (lots and lots of error) I've experienced.
I believe in creativity without burnout. Teaching without ego. And celebrating your creativity and artistry while honoring your time, boundaries, and values.
