I am a stay-at-home mom who NEEDS a creative outlet! I have tried many, many things from crafts to sewing and just couldn’t find what it was that I was passionate about. I received my degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design from Bowling Green State University. I love sketching and designing, but life eventually took me in a different direction, marriage, kids, and the usual family obligations. I worked in Recruiting for awhile, but decided that staying home to raise my children was what was best for my family, and luckily, my husband was all for it! “When the wife is happy, the family is happy” right? But I was still missing something…my creative outlet!! I love to express myself through cooking, baking and entertaining; I feel it is a lost art! I decided that I needed to take my design talents into the kitchen!
I am addicted to watching The Ace of Cakes on Food Network and Cake Boss on TLC. I wondered if I could do what they do, so I did a little research on techniques and supplies and set off to attempt my first cake. It wasn’t perfect by any means, but I was inspired! I was immediately hooked on the amount of design and details that go into creating a fondant covered cake! Finally!! I knew what my calling was!
At first, I was just making a few cakes for friends and family, but as word got out about my unique cakes, business started to pick up! I decided that it was time to come up with a name for my growing business. After many “trial” cakes and experiments which my husband and kids were happy to taste test, my daughter said “Mom, you are going crazy with the cake making”. It stuck in my head…why not call it CakeCrazy? I wanted something that said this is not your typical, boring cake! So there you have it!
I only use homemade fondant and butter cream icing for my cakes! The pre-made and manufactured stuff does not taste good! Why go to all the trouble of creating a cake if the icing will be peeled off? I want the entire cake to be as delicious as it looks!
Each cake is individually designed to match you, your personality, and the theme of the occasion you are celebrating. I specialize in one of-a-kind cakes, and I work with every customer to create a unique and delicious work of edible art. I take great pride in the design and construction of each cake. No two cakes are alike. If you have an idea, I can make it!
My theory is that the cake is one of the most important parts of any celebration. Especially for brides, you are the star of the wedding and the cake is the star of the reception! You should be able to look back at your pictures and say “WOW! Look how cool my cake was! People are still talking about it!”
