12 years ago Instagram took the world by storm. As an aspiring makeup artist, I began uploading makeup selfies to get my name out there. Between makeup and caring for an infant, I would bake cupcakes in my free time and upload pictures. The more I baked, the more I realized that this was my true passion. The pleasure I derive from decorating beautiful and tasty desserts is only a fraction of the joy I feel when seeing friends and family enjoy my creations. I love inspiring and being inspired by my fellow cookie and cake artists. It is a blessing to have the opportunity to do what I love, and I thank G-d daily for the gift He has given me.
