What accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am so proud of raising seven beautiful children, who not only love and respect me but equally like me—and each other. I am so proud of each of them as individuals and who they have become. I learn from them every day. The Cupcake Collection is a family-run business, and my children grew up watching me build it. Now, they are a crucial part of running it.
A quote you live by:
“Speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said.” When God created the world, He led by example when speaking the world into existence. I believe that He did this so that we would know what we could also have access to the same power if only we believe.
How do you define beauty?
I believe beauty is as beauty does and timeliness is a characteristic of the most beautiful people. I believe pretty is of no consequence if a person is nasty, dismissive, or degrading of people. No one cares how cute you look when you arrive if you disregard the value of their time by being tardy.
