Thanks for visiting our website!
I am here because of all the ladies who have gently influenced me...
My mother always said that she didn't know where I got my interest in baking-- "Not from me!" she'd say. She was my biggest fan, however!
My Grandmother was an influence though, sadly I only have one of her recipes (and it never turns out as good as hers!) I did take possession of her rolling pin and a few old cupcake tins that were hers and I still use!
My neighbor, Mrs. Fekete, gave me a Betty Crocker Cookbook to look for ideas to help me pick a project for a creativity fair at school--I made an igloo cake and won a ribbon!
Then in
my 20's I picked up a book "Creative Cakes" (written by Stephanie
Crookston) and thought I'd try a few. I've been baking/decorating at
varying levels of intensity ever since.
Currently, the ladies influencing me are...
1) My daughter/business
partner Kerianne-- who after graduating from college renewed my "follow
your dream" outlook and joins me now in the business- SallyTracyCake.
Now I don't know how I did it without her! It's great having a
partnership and sharing this venture with her.
and 2) Loryn Dagon and
Colyn Camp- the sisters behind "Chef Loryn"-- they have literally
given me an outlet to further my business and all the dreams that go with it by
mentoring me in the practical side of the food "biz"-- I prefer the
creative side but you must have both to be successful! Can't thank them
enough!
A huge
thank you to all my loyal customers, friends and family who have followed me on
this journey. I know the best is yet to come!
Sally T.
