About Me

My name is Heidi. And this is my story in a nut shell I guess.

Almost 12 years ago, I married my high school sweetheart, Jeff and moved to Everett and eventually Marysville where we have lived for the last 10 1/2 years. For the last 3 of those years, I have been a stay-at-home mom. I have worked in everything from retail to real estate as an escrow assistant to health care as a medical assistant.

One day 3 years ago, circumstances changed and my husband and I decided that I would stay home with our then 2 children and my husband would be the bread winner for the family for a while. Since then, we have been blessed with our third child, Isabelle, who just turned 2, and have had many adventures together as a family. My oldest, Lorelai is 7 and my middle child, Nate is 5. My kids definitely keep me and my husband busy most of the time and I love being at home with them. There just seemed to be something missing from my stay-at-home life.

I have always loved to bake! I have made desserts for friends, for church activities and for parties. And my favorite seems to be making cakes and brownies. But sometimes you just want a small piece of cake or just a bite of something without feeling committed to eat the whole 10 lb. cake or 5 lb. brownie! So after doing some research on the web one morning a few weeks ago (I by the way am a computer obsessed person) I read about Angie Dudley otherwise known as Bakerella and the amazing cake pops she makes. She is fantastic! What a concept. Who would of thought of putting cake on a stick. I had to have this book! I was way too far down on the library waiting list to wait this one out so after searching several stores I finally found and bought her book, "Cake Pops" by Bakerella.This people is must have book!!!

My daughter Isabelle's second birthday was coming up and I needed an idea for party favors to give her guests. So instead of going out and buying a bunch of little things most parents would not want their kids to have and end up throwing them away anyhow, I decided to make some cake pops instead. And to my utter shock, they were a hit! Granted they needed to be perfected a bit but were such a success. The kids loved them and their parents loved them. Score! Happy dance!

Since that day a month or so ago, I have since fallen in love with cake pops and have jumped on the cake pop revolution band wagon. Be it cake, brownie, cookie or cheesecake the cake pop foundation is limitless.
