My story began, when I was a child and visited my grandmother during the summer. She always made delicious, pretty cakes. My desire to create and bake delectable tasting cakes came from her. I baked cakes for years out of my house. Due to a lay off at Peabody CoalSales in 1994, I opened the Victorian Window (Bakery & Restaurant) in Charleston, WV. I operated the business for three years and had to close due to unfortunate circumstances. For twenty years, I have been employed as an administrative assistant where I gained extensive computer skills and knowledge. As time permitted, I took additional web designing and Picture Publishing classes at Web Tech University. Recently, I employed as a cake decorator for a major grocery chain. As part of my responsibilities, I decorate photo cakes. When the customers began asking me for special techniques to produce edible images for their cakes, I realized the potential for starting a business using my picture computer skills. I created the customer’s special picture requests on my home computer. After I printed the pictures, I took it to work and scanned the pictures on the company scanner to print out on frosting sheets for the customer’s cakes. To be honest, I was disappointed with the results that the grocery chain printer produced.

Viola! It is time to start my edible photo imaging business!
