About Me

Anna Hightower, owner and operator of Anna Cakes, found her love of cake designing quite by accident. Agreeing to take a cake decorating course with a friend, Anna never dreamed of one day owning her own business. After just one class, she was hooked. Growing up the daughter of a musician and an art dealer/interior designer, Anna had always been rooted in the arts. She spent the greater part of her late teens/early 20's, immersed in art, poetry, singing, and songwriting, with the ultimate goal of recording with a major label. Little did she know her pursuit of music, would lead her to Orlando, and ultimately to Anna Cakes. Following the dream, Anna, her husband Marlon, and their daughter Marlee, relocated from Indianapolis, in 2004, to write and record with a close friend in the industry. But music wasn't enough. The artist in her was in need of an additional outlet. Cake design, which was to merely be a hobby, quickly grew into a full-blown passion. Armed with only a few classes, and the sound of her husband's words ringing in her ears..."Business is 90% confidence, Anna!" she called her sister and said, "Cancel your cake lady. I'm making your wedding cake!" The fall-themed, 4-tiered cake got rave reviews, and Anna Cakes was born! ~ VIEW ANNA CAKES' PORTFOLIO BELOW...ENJOY!
Your Cupcake Says You Are Lovable
http://www.blogthings.com/thecupcaketest/


At parties, you tend to be a social butterfly. You enjoy making conversation and making sure everyone is having fun.
You hardly have any restraint. You only hold yourself back when absolutely necessary.
The most important thing in your life is love.
You are laid back, flexible, and easy to get along with. To know you is to care for you.
