Time is the most precious gift because we never get it back once it is gone, so why not show someone how special they are to you by having a custom cake created. All throughout my childhood I would always have the greatest celebration cakes made from my grandmothers. The creativity was far from a basic screened on image. Into my adulthood a very close friend Peggy Hunt began to make all of our cel
ebration cakes, including our wedding cake. Peggy relocated to southern Missouri. Soon after that dim day, I ordered a cake from a local bakery that I discovered something had been lost in the creation of cakes. I was so disappointed after I ordered my daughter’s 1st birthday cake from a bakery. The joy I had experienced in my childhood parties was absent when I was handed nothing more than and overcharged screened on image of Dora the Explorer. Memories and photographs of my past lead me to a journey of discovering the arts of baking and decorating. I earned a BSE degree from Central Missouri State University, an MAT from Webster University and taught High School for approximately six years before entering the world of crumbs and frosting. I am now the proud owner of Kim’s Custom Cakes, a company that started on inspiration to keep a long standing tradition of quality cakes alive with in family history. My goal is that everyone has a special cake for their special day. We create works of art suited to celebrate the main focus of any party, the person or people being honored by the spotlight.
