Asia Coffee

My absolute favorite thing to bake are cakes! I love the process of developing flavor combinations, gathering the ingredients and bringing everything together for the baked layers. The best part: I get to decorate my cakes! I merge butterceam, fondant, modeling chocolate, isomalt, and wafer paper to bring truly memorable cakes to life. This has been my passion for the last 13 years!

I wanted to make a "nice" cake for my son for his seventh birthday, so I took a class at a local cake supply shop in early 2011. I've been honing my baking and cake decorating skills since then! Over the years, I've had the opportunity to give back to my community by partnering with several local non-profits on their fundraising efforts via donations of class seats and special events. I've been Baking a Difference as a Sugar Angel with Icing Smiles since 2017!

Having a physical location where people can learn baking, cake decorating and other food crafts has been a dream of mine for the past four years. I would love to make this dream a reality! I would use the $20,000 to invest in a location and equipment to get started, and I would open the teaching space to local bakers and food crafters and travelling instructors.
