About Me

Cooking and baking are a passion of mine. I am a teacher of the sugar arts in the Oklahoma City and Norman area. I love to help others learn that they can be creative and make something look pretty! Some of the classes I offer are cake decorating, gum paste, gingerbread, baking, airbrushing, floral design and painting.
For my schedule go see my website

I am also a mom, nurse, esthetician, business owner and secular carmelite. I would love to go back to work in nursing when the kids are older.
