My name is Shelly, welcome to my group page! I took my first cake decorating class at the community center when I was 17 years old, and my mom bought me six tips and a little spatula.

From that early experience, I took other classes, practiced and learned from other decorators, and proceeded to master my craft. I went on to do special occa …

In August of 2012, I set out to expand into the great Pacific Northwest, settling in Portland, OR. With me I brought my many experiences of what Meetups should be, based on my experiences before. I came with the great experiences from MBB's Original Chapter.
