ABOUT THE BAKER - AMANDA SANTIAGO
"Creativity takes courage!"
2012 is when it all started!
In high school I would bake cakes and desserts for friends on their birthdays, etc. But I had no experience in cake design. I started small, spending numerous hours researching techniques & practicing with small treats. The more I learned the more my confidence grew & that really started showing in my work. Fast forward a few years to when I'm working at Michaels & my manager asks me if I would be interested in teaching the Wilton Cake Decorating classes. I was stoked but also very nervous because I was still learning myself! I figured there's nothing to lose so I took on the challenge! 🙈
I learned so much along the way & it eventually set me on the path to working in a bakery!! I started at the bottom, soaking in as much knowledge & experience as I could, while also continuing to grow my home bakery. Several years have passed now & I am still on this sweet little journey! Creating cakes is my full-time job as well as running Sweet N' Charming Bakery & I couldn't be happier! 💜
