We’ve seen pictures of desserts in mason jars, what are those?

They are cake jars. I can make them in any flavor, but my strawberry shortcake and banana pudding jars are the most popular.

How long in advance should people order cakes or other special items?

I ask for at least a week in advance for orders. Sometimes I can do short notices, but it depends on what orders I already have.

What is your favorite dessert to make?

I like experimenting and creating new desserts. I do like the cake rolls that I made for the host. It allows me to explore my artistic side.

How do you keep in shape when you are always making delicious treats?!

Spending log hours baking and moving around in a kitchen keeps me in shape. Plus, I use to have a sweet tooth quite often, but now that I bake so many sweets, the desire to eat them has gone away.
