About Me

Hi! My name is Alison.

 

My family and friends call me Ali. I'm a true Floridian, born and raised in Central Florida! A few things I love....iced coffee, tacos, spending time with my family & friends, and desserts!! I've been an elementary school teacher for 17 years, but we're currently "on a break". (FRIENDS fans...you see what I did there?? 😆)

​

​

What's with the name?

​

Funny enough, the term "Alicakes" originally had nothing to do with cakes! ​

My college friend, Karen, started calling me Alicakes and it just stuck.

Now I'm living out the nickname IRL. 🥳

 

​

How'd you get started with cakes and decorating? 

​

I was always the one to bring a "fun new dessert" to a holiday gathering. So there's that. lol  My cake decorating journey began in 2017 when one of my besties, Amber, gifted me a Beginner's Buttercream class at JoAnn's. We went together and had a blast! I started making cakes for my family's birthdays and slowly, coworkers heard about my new hobby and started ordering cakes. By 2019/2020 I was teaching during the day and making cakes at night and on the weekends. Fast forward another year to July 2021 and I took a leave from teaching to try this cake thing full-time, and here we are!

Now, let's talk dessert!!
