Summary
I am a passionate and detailed cake decorator who has gained lot's of practice and knowledge through the work at different bakeries, I use my time at Uncle Giuseppe's to create wonderful seasonal cakes and pastries as well as round year cakes. I work with orders with specific decorations as well and create different designs for birthdays, weddings, seasons and so on. I am always looking for ways to further my knowledge and baking education, I am open to learn new techniques and build a stronger career path in cake decorating. Many of the abilities that are important to me also include communication, skill and techniques, problem solving and to have a successful outcome with any product being sold. My passion comes from a long line of baking and cakes in my family, that goes all the way back to my mother who made cakes from scratch for any occasion. I hope to always leave a lasting love for baking and cakes to anyone who I am able to work with and any costumer I am able to serve.
