Meet the Cake Artist Part 4

Today, I'd like to introduce you to Kathy, co-owner of Indy Cakes.

If you've placed an order or sent us an email, you've probably talked with Kathy. If you've stopped by the shop in the afternoon, you've probably talked with Kathy. If you've picked up a cake on Saturday, you've probably talked with Kathy!

Without her, our shop would probably grind to a halt. Not only does she handle the majority of our customer correspondence, but she also handles the office work, bills (we do need lights to decorate!) and other paperwork that keeps our shop going. Lastly, she also holds the closely guarded secret to what makes our buttercream so amazingly delicious.

Today, I'd like you to meet Nicole.

Nicole came to us as an Intern with the Chef's Academy in need of a few more hours to complete her degree. After signing on, it was apparent that she fit in well with the rest of our team and our next decorated was hired!

Nicole started decorating cakes at the tender age of 8 while in 4-H. While in high school, Nicole decided that she wanted to make cakes for a living and applied (and was accepted) to the Chef's Academy in Indianapolis. She enjoys decorating birthday cakes for kids as they allow her to be cute and creative.

Here are just a few of the cakes that Nicole has helped create:

Our new delivery vehicle

A while back, we acquired a minivan for deliveries, but we wanted to make sure that everyone knew what we had on board and why we were driving so slowly. We contacted the guys over at 317 Signs and Wraps, and they made it happen. Check out the results:

Pretty cool, huh?

Today, I'd like you to meet Lisa.

Lisa came to us as in intern with the Chef's Academy. Her cake decorating skills were evident and we quickly decided she would be a great fit for our team.

Lisa originally went to school for architecture, but found that she did not have the passion for buildings that she has for cakes! She enjoys the sculpted cakes as well as making cute kids' cakes, and boy can she make them cute. Just check out a few of her recent cakes:

Meet the Cake Artists!

Over the next 5 weeks, I will be posting a short bio about the wonderful cake artists that work here at Indy Cakes as well as a few of the cakes that they've created while here.

Today, I'd like you to meet Ashure.

Ashure decided she would take on the task of making her son's first birthday cake and quickly found herself obsessed with cake decorating. She watched as many cake shows as she could (and still does!) and took the cake decorating classes offered at Michael's Craft Stores. It was there that she met me (the owner of Indy Cakes). We struck up a friendship and when Indy Cakes was ready to expand, Ashure was a natural choice to be our first decorator.

Ashure enjoys the creativity and uniqueness of making cakes for occasions and especially enjoys the challenge of making non-cake items out of cake, such as hats, cars and turkeys!

Here are just a few of the cakes that Ashure has helped create during her time here at Indy Cakes:
