Who is the Sin City Mad Baker?

Aug. 2006, I left a 6 figure job as a District Sales Manager for a leading supplier of interior design products. On the surface I had success...awards and the financial trappings that come along with success....but on the inside, I longed for creativity, fun and breaking free from corporate slavery.

While visiting a local bookstore in July of 2006, a vision out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. It was Debbie Brown's little red book, "Naughty Cakes." Amazed at the wonderful things that could be done with cake it turned out to be my introduction to Sugar Arts and the first of many books purchased over the years.

I quickly enrolled in classes at Joann's Fabrics and took Courses 1 and 2 in cake decorating. The classes were not moving along fast enough, so I made a decision that would open a magnificent new world to me. I signed up to take classes at Wilton Headquarters in Sept-Oct 2006, and spent 6 weeks at their headquarters studying Wilton's "Master Course", "The Lambeth and Australian Methods", ""Intro to Fondant", "Intro to Gumpaste", "Sugar Artistry", "Gumpaste & Fondant with Colette Peter's" and finally "Advanced Gumpaste & Fondant with Colette Peter's.

The 6 weeks spent at Wilton laid a solid foundation and put me on a path which has lead to discovering new cake artists and studying with other cake decorating masters, including, Bronwen Weber, Norm Davis, Colette Peters and the one who sparked my career....Debbie Brown.

As a result of my new found passion, I enrolled in the Pastry Arts program in Aug. 2008, at the College of Southern Nevada, excelling in a rigorous program. In May of 2011, I graduated with High Honors. While attending school, many opportunities were presented, including the opportunity to open the Aria Resort in City Center as a baker for Jean Philippe Patisserie, working for the largest cupcakery in the country, and currently as a union baker for a prestigious resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
