:
Is this all you've ever done (job wise)?>>>>>>>>no, but I have pretty much always been in the food industry. (Restaurants)
Part time or full time?>>>>>>>> Extremely full time! I work around 80 hours a week.
Did you take classes first or are you self taught?>>>>>>>I took classes when the hotel I was the pastry chef for decided to offer wedding cakes. That's when the bug really bit!

Anybody have college certification? (such as pastry chef or bakery arts)>>>>>>>No, I went to college for culinary arts, but when I did my internship at the fanciest hotel in town, they hired me after just a few months. I figured, why stay in school when I am working now where I want to. ( I didn't know much about cakes then)

From home or from a retail space?>>>>>>>Started out at home, then two years ago built a bakery on my property. Best thing I ever did was get out of the house!! And I can walk to work!
Favourite tools that are a must have?>>>>>>Kathy Scott's impression mats are a favorite- they make decorating fast and easy- and people are AMAZED!
