The Interview
1. What is one of your favorite baking memories?
My favorite cake memory is when I made my first cake for one of my kids birthdays. It was a Barbie cake. You know, the one with the cake as the skirt and then you stick a Barbie thru the top? My oldest was 5 and was so excited for it! I cringe when I look at it now, but at the time I was so proud of it. Making my kids their birthdays cakes is what got me into cakes!
2. From your cake decorating style to your actual photos, your Insta-feed is gorgeous! What's your favorite part of being a cake content creator?
I love the creativity! I don’t feel I have a certain style and really enjoy challenging myself to try new designs and techniques. When I give something new a try and it turns out amazing... that’s my favorite part for sure!
3. This or That Cake Style! Choose which one describes your cake style!
**Stephanie's Choices are bold + underlined!**

Fondant vs Buttercream
Decorate with Flowers or Decorate with Cookies
Only be allowed to eat cookies or cakes?
4. Outside of cake decorating, what else sparks joy in your life?
I love spending time with my husband and kids. When they are happy, I’m happy! I also love to workout and go to the gym often. It helps me keep an active lifestyle and is a great stress reliever for me!
5. Orange cupcakes, White Chocolate Coconut and Salted Caramel are just a sampling of your unique cake flavors on your feed. Do you have a favorite flavor to experiment with?
I don’t think I’m very adventurous when it comes to flavors! I stick to the tried and true combos that most people love. I love anything with salted caramel so I use that a lot!
6. How did you get into cake baking + decorating?
I started out learning to do cakes for my kids, but quickly feel in love with learning new recipes and fine tuning my favorites. It brings people joy and I love surprising friends with treats!
