Sherry believes that all of her life's experiences have led her to her
successful cake-decorating career. Without any formal lessons, she made
cakes for her children’s birthdays and school functions. Sherry
had a girlfriend who was a cake decorator in Deltona, FL, where she previously
resided. Sherry use to take her daughter to her house for her girls to
play. Sherry would talk for hours to her friend while she decorated not
realizing that she was learning. Sherry's niece (age 14) gave her a wedding
cake decorating book with her dream wedding cake in it and told Sherry
that she needed to learn cake decorating so she could do her wedding cake.
The challenge was in force and cake decorating started to become a competitive
hobby. Through a series of events, Sherry was influenced most by a man
specializing in "lace draping", a unique, almost lost art of
porcelain lace used in the making of Dresden Dolls. Working with porcelain
clay under the guidance of his skillful art of perseverance and patience,
and through this totally unrelated hobby, cake creation evolved. This
man died shortly after Sherry had successfully completed 2 dolls, and
went on to complete 6 more of these rare creations on her own. It was
then Sherry realized God had given her a talent that could be used in
her cake creations. Sherry's dream was to make her own daughter's wedding
cake and thought it would all end when that dream was fulfilled. Not planning
to do wedding cakes as a business, she was surprised and overwhelmed when
the phone began to ring. Feeling the "empty nest" by both her
and her husband, they jumped at the chance to have a new daughter every
weekend. Thus, a second business, "The Cakelady" was born.
