About me: FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN INTO THE HEALTH AND FITNESS FIELD. I TRAINED MYSELF PHYSICLLY TO BE IN THE BEST SHAPE AT ALL TIMES. AFTER ATTENDING COLLEGE FOR FOUR YEARS AND MAJORING IN SOMETHING THAT I HAD NO INTEREST IN, I STUDIED HEALTH AND FITNESS AND EARNED MY CERT. I INTERVIEWED FOR AND WAS HIRED AS A PERSONAL TRAINER FOR A POPULAR HEALTH CLUB AND RAPIDLY CLIMBED THE LADDER AND BECAME THE DIRECTOR OF FITNESS AND OFFERED A POSITION AS SUPERVISOR.
As I BEGAN HAVING CHILDREN, It MOTIVATED ME TO CONTINUE TO EAT WELL AND INTRODUCE HEALTHY NON PROCESSED, NO PRESERVATIVE, FOOD TO MY CHILDREN.
I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH FOOD FOR YEARS. I AM LATINA AND MY DAD IS BIG ON MEAT AND MY MOM COOKS GREAT LATIN FOODS EVERYDAY. AS A CHILD I PACKED ON THE POUNDS, THIS DOSEN'T INCLUDE THE OCCASIONAL TREAT. GROWING UP THIS WAY I HAD NO CHOICE. I HAD TO EAT WHAT WAS GIVEN TO ME (TRUST ME IM NOT COMPLAINING), BUT AS I BEGAN TO LEARN ABOUT FOODS I MADE A DECISION TO CHANGE MY HABITS DRAMATICALLY. I WANTED TO STILL HAVE THAT "LATIN SPICE" IN MY LIFE, AND SWEETS, WITHOUT ALL THE "BAD" STUFF. I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE ALL MY MEALS (VEGETARIAN) AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE (NOT BOXED OR READY MADE). I HAD THAT MASTERED. ALL I NEEDED TO DO WAS GET THE SWEETS DOWN AND MASTERED. I BOUGHT TONS OF BOOKS, I RESEARCHED AND STUDIED, AND CAME UP WITH MY OWN "CONCOCTIONS".
I BEGAN TO MAKE DESERTS FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, OF COURSE I LOVE ACE OF CAKES OF CHARM CITY CAKES IN BALTIMORE, AND I WANTED TO CONTINUE TO USE MY INGREDIENTS WITH HIS CRAZY FONDANT CAKES. SO, I STUDIED SOME MORE. I TOOK A FEW MONTHS COURSES AT WILTON. I LEARNED TECHNIQUES AND THE STANDARD WAY OF DESIGNING CAKES AND PASTRIES. I TOOK WHAT I LEARNED AND MADE IT MY OWN.
MY CAKES ARE MADE WITH THE BEST AND FRESH INGREDIENTS. THE INGREDIENTS CAN BE ALTERED TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS. I MAKE A DAIRY FREE CAKE, A VEGETARIAN CAKE, AND A SUGAR FREE (IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE DECORATED WITH FONDANT)ETC. DESPITE THE ALTERATIONS, THE FLAVOR AND RICHNESS OF WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE CAKE, IS STILL THERE. MY COOKIES ARE MADE IN THE SAME FASHION.
IN DECEMBER I WILL BE ATTENDING THE NOTTER SCHOOL OF PASTRY ARTS TO REFINE MY MY DESSERTS AND BRING MY CLIENTS SOMETHING EXTRA SPECIAL.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING AND BRINGING YOU MY SPECIAL TREATS, WITHOUT THE GUILT.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND ORDERS. UNTIL THEN... EAT CAKE!
A little late.... But I didnt forget... The cookie cake was a hit! First of all everyone was fooled thinking they were going to eat an oreo cookie! LOL As always, awesome talent and very creative.
Hello All, I just wanted to say my fiance and I were amazed by the wonderful cake! When I first contacted Elena I had no idea what I was expecting to get..My Fiance and I have been on a strict diet and sweets are his thing...So when I came across Elanas cake I thought it would be nice to give him womething different. With little idea of what I watned for a cake I explained I just wanted something symbolizing he was the key to my heart..I would send a picture of us with the cake.. But he was to busy on eating it!!! Once again awesome... and look forward to future cakes!
HERE'S A COMMENT FROM MY CLIENT FOR THE PINK AND CHOCOLATE STRIPPED CAKE FOR MADISON. HER MOM SENT IT TO MY EMAIL.
Elena,
I am so very sorry for the delay in my response, there has been so much going on the last two weeks that I haven't had enough time to sit down and properly thank you. The cake was beautiful and Madison was more than thrilled by her pink and brown cake. It was amazing, you are extremely talented and all of my guests gave rave reviews.
So the spongebob cake was a hit! It really made the whole party complete. It looked and smelt amazing and it was super tasty. Everyone enjoyed it alot. It was a reasonable price and was done when we needed it and it endured a 2 and a half hour drive to where we were staying. Wow! We are so thankful that you have done this for us and we will always come to you if we need any further cake making! Thanks a lot. Mahalo
