My Story



Maybe you stumbled across my website by accident and now you want to know a little bit more about who the heck I am! For those of you who are slow... my name is Emily.  I grew up in a suburb of San Diego and had a leave-it-to-beaver life.  My parents still live in the house I grew up in, we wave at our neighbors, and Mom makes her famous buttermilk pancakes every Saturday morning.  You can try to put me in a compartment, but I'm a Cali-bred girl, a redneck at heart, and a knowledgable sailor.  (yeah as in on a sailboat)  


A couple decades ago a surfer boy met a beautiful Catholic girl and created the family of 8 that I love today.  My family is amazing and the reason why I made it to cake school.  There were several times I felt like giving up.  Cake school would be too expensive, too far away, too random of an idea.  Every time I got scared I had a family member there to encourage me to go for it!  


Here they are... (spouses included)
