CarmieCakes

I am Michelle Sams, a woman of God, a mother of 3 and a self-taught cake artist :-) I've been blessed with a gift of baking the most delicious, moist, light and fluffy cakes in town! I have been baking cakes since I was 10 years old. However, it wasn't until 2008 that I found my new passion for cake decorating. After observing a lady decorate one s... ingle cake, I was determined to bake and decorate my future nephew's baby shower cake that following weekend. It was a success. With support from my mother, family and friends, I started making sheet cakes for loved ones. Eventually, through word of mouth, I began making cakes for strangers as well :-) On December 29th, 2013 I lost my mother to cancer, just 3 weeks after diagnosis. My mother, Carmelita "Carmie" Sams, had a passion for bicycles. Everything from riding a bike for miles, to building, repairing and teaching the youth and women everything there is to know about a bike. She did what she loved. After my mom passed, I decided to focus on what I loved most, my God, my family, and baking and decorating cakes. I taught myself how to work with fondant and I fell in love with it instantly. From there, my talent improved, and I started making cakes that I never even dreamed of making. I jumped out on faith and quit my job of 11 years and I started my own business. My mom dedicated her time into her passion and I wanted to do the same. So because of who she was and everything she meant to me, I dedicated my business to her by naming it after her :-) "CarmieCakes"Read More
