ABOUT US

Cakes, Cupcakes and Sweets was born out of a sad time in our lives. However, we have learned to turn our lemons into lemonade - or maybe make cake out of crumbs is a better analogy :-)

​

When our mom got sick in February 2012, I had to put my engineering CAD consulting career on hold in order to care for my special needs brother, Michael.

​

When our mom passed away unexpectedly in August 2012, I had to completely give up my career, since there was no way I could be away from home full-time and still care for Michael.

​

Our mom had always loved baking and cake decorating and used to do a lot of it when we were younger. I guess she must have passed that love of creating onto me, because when I was trying to figure out something I could do to help support us, the idea of cake decorating and baking came to mind.

​

So it's like having our mom's spirit with us while creating some fun and

tasty treats!

​

Also, it's something Michael can help with and makes him feel special. Any time we need chopped nuts for a recipe, I set up my nut chopper and he gets to press the button to chop away - thus, earning him the nickname "The Mad Chopper" - which always brings out an ear to ear grin when he hears his nickname :-)

​

We also like to give back to the community, so Michael likes to help make treats to take to our first responders (see the Community page for pictures).
