We are often asked how we got started and how we learned to do cakes. Well we are self taught we have never attended any classes. We've never even purchased a how to book or video lol. I got my start in baking by accident really it all started with my modest little garden. I had an over abudance of zucchini and needed to figure out what to do with it so from scratch quick breads was where it all began. One thing lead to another and here I am today baking all the delicious goodies for our baking business. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined I would be head baker and co-owner of Bodine's Baking Co. working alongside Jason. It is beyond a dream come true!!
Jason has always been really artistic. I'm pretty sure he can do whatever he puts is mind to .He can paint, draw and of course sculpt anything. His abilities truly amaze me and I often sit back and wonder how on earth he is capable of creating edible art. It is truly a talent he was born with!! I think Jason is inspired by doing something better than he's done before. I can't really say challenging himself because there hasn't been anything he hasn't been able to create. He has encouraged me to stretch myself and go beyond what I think I am capable of and now I am able to create 2d fondant cupcake toppers who knew I could be creative lol. Another inspiration for me is a fellow baker and an amazingly talented decorator named Sharon. Sharon lives in California and owns her own baking business. We've become what we like to call "cookie pals" because that is how we got to know each other through cookies. She is always encouraing me to bake new things and sharing her vast knowledge of baking with us. She has a cute name for Jason she calls him "mr. good hands". She always has a word of encouragment and even some constructive advice.
We have been extremely fortunate to also have the support and solid business knowledge of another incrediably talented cake decorator. Kara created thousands of wedding cakes for her clients in Virgina over her 20 year career. She has since retired from cakes but owns her own thriving Etsy shop. She is a smart business woman and we truly appreciate her continued guidance through all of our hard work. It is also through the many friends and family memebers that have stood behind us and encouraged us as well. I speak for the both of us when I say our customers are what inspire us the most. We are always wanting to give our absolute best to our customers. So keep the awesome orders coming we are excited to see what amazing things we have the opportunity to create!!
