As an Engineer, I sometimes find myself applying my decorating techniques and design from an Engineer’s perspective.  Always looking for ways to implement structure, edible mechanisms and functionality into our designs. 

I run marathons and ultra relays, hike Camelback Mtn and mountain bike for sports interest.  Running races has taken me across our beautiful country—love to travel and see places I’ve never seen before.

About Earl:  My partner, is an Information Technology whiz and an artist. He is a sculptor and renders in oil, acrylic, and water color.  His skills as a renderer is proven on fondant as a canvas, as well as sculpting custom toppers for our cakes.  My, oh my, very detailed and perfecto!

Earl coaches the local junior varsity girl’s soccer team.  He is also assistant coach for varsity girl’s team and enjoys volunteering for AYSO soccer programs.  If he’s not in the shop, he’s likely somewhere at a soccer practice volunteering as a coach or running the canals for personal fitness.

We are originally from southeastern Utah, the 4-Corners area. 

Our business is quite family oriented.  As a team, we each bring our skills and personalities into our designs.  Chris’ gothic realm, Tesh’s sweet & bouncy silliness,  Earl’s artistry and fine culinary arts, Duane’s spirituality, and my leadership & business skills, and not to forget 2 youngest sisters with overloaded knowledge and adherence to children’s theme characters, down to the colors and form.  They don’t budge until we get it right.

We travel for weddings throughout the state of Arizona and into Utah and New Mexico.  And have ship cakes across the country.

We tailor to ethnic traditions as well as creating Gothic designs on our cakes.
