Baking has always been Nicole's passion, but it hasn't always been her career. Like many hobby bakers, she always wanted to have her own home-based baking business, but she instead followed a more traditional career path.

Nicole studied Accounting at Metro State University of Denver, where she completed the coursework to sit for the CPA exam. After working most of her adult career in Public Accounting, she decided that becoming a CPA was not her true calling, She decided instead to follow her dream of becoming a full-time cake artist.
