MY SWEET STORY
I have been a cake decorator since 1979. I took the basic Wilton Courses in 1993 and since then have taken advanced courses with Chefs Toba Garrett, Lauri Ditunno, Ruth Drennan, and Colette Peters. I was trained in gumpaste flowers by Scott Clark Woolley. I've taught cake decorating at the College of Staten Island Continuing Education, University Settlement Senior HEART Program, STRIDE Youth Program, cookie decorating classes for All Hands in Motion , Child Protective Services, NY Foundling, the NYC Cake Decorators Meetup, Friends Day Care, and Bubbles Playhouse. I was the Organizer of the NYC Cake Decorators Meetup from 2007-20013. The NYC Cake Decorators Meetup [over 1,000 members], is the largest cake decorating club in New York City. I have networked with nationally known sugar artists Mike McCarey, Lauren Kitchens,Chef Anne Heap, Pink Cake Box; Julie Bashore, Cakediva, and Bronwen Weber. I am honored that my sugar peonies still life was accepted into the Staten Island Historical Society's permanent collection in 2010. I am a Certified Wilton Method Cake Decorator Instructor, a certified social worker, Certified CPR-AED, and I am approved by NY State as a Teacher's Assistant. Currently, I am honored to partner with Michaels Craft Store, 2795 Richmond Avenue [next to the Staten Island Mall]. Michaels is a great store with all the crafting supplies you'll ever need.
