My Story
My name is Marisol Amezcua. I was born in 1998.

​

Cake Decorating saved my life.  At the age of 13 I wanted to become a dentist or a police officer.  That wasn’t until the age of 14 when I signed myself up for competition, thinking it was an extra class. Ever since, cake decorating sparked my interest. I got my first job at the age of 15, as a grocery store cake decorator.  During this time, no one wanted to teach me and help me expand my skills as a cake decorator.  With the lack of confidence, I gave up on my dream.  I began working at a “mom and pops bakery”, where I was taught the value of hard work, and not to give up on your dreams.  After being rejected from multiple cake decorating job opportunities, I took it upon myself to learn on my OWN.

One day when I woke up, I checked my phone to see many cake decorators posting on Instagram.  I became furious. “That could be me”.  Since that morning, I began to bake from home, giving cakes to my mom for her job, to enjoy.  I did this just to capture a picture and upload to Instagram.  With a lot of HARD WORK, DEDICATION, and PASSION I was then able to leave my full-time job from the Wynn Hotel Resort and Casino to becoming a full time cake decorator of my OWN business at the age of 21.​

Since then, I have been invited to many high schools to speak in front of younger generations of my struggles and to encourage all the students to NOT give up.​

Creating custom cakes not only saved my life but has also allowed me to be apart of many special celebrations.​

I hope you allow me to make your next special occasion just a little sweeter!
