Local Cake Artist

So may people have asked me if I knew a good cake decorator.
I didn't know anybody that I could recommend with total confidence.  I did not  know anybody who is artistic, has all the skills to make that special cake, and has that great personality to work with (until you meet one of those "scary cake lady", you won't know why the personality is a criteria) - until now.

Here is the answer!
