Everyone has a story to tell and this is the story of how Kelly’s Yummies
came to be. Kelly’s Yummies, is a non-storefront business, working out of
her home, located in Prosper, Texas, serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. When I was thirteen years old, I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus caused
by a brain tumor. From age thirteen to fifteen I was in the hospital quite a few
times and when I was
fifteen years old, the doctor decided it was time to remove
the tumor. After it was removed, I was diagnosed with temporary short term
memory loss and this lasted for about nine months. When my memory came
back, or I suppose you could say when I “woke up”, I had a new perspective
on life. That perspective was that life can be funny sometimes and it can
change at any moment, so take a risk and be spontaneous with your life! I
have always been very fascinated with art and I have been drawing since the
age of nine, so I feel like decorating cakes is what I am meant to do. To me,
whether it is a cake, cupcake or a cookie, they are all works of art in my eyes
and I will make each and every product look great. Kelly’s Yummies was started in 2012 when I decided to start my own baking
company. At the time, I was going to Culinary school at Collin College and had
completed one year of Pastry Arts school, when I said, “you know what, I love
baking and I just want to start my own business, right NOW”…and that idea is
what started Kelly’s Yummies! Since then I have been working on getting my
name and my desserts out to the Dallas/Fort Worth community. My dream is to one day open a store front custom cakes, cupcakes and
specially decorated sugar cookie shop in the north Dallas area. However, for
right now that is just a dream, hopefully, one that is not set TOO far into the
future.
