I am a veteran and also had a 30 year career in the federal government serving in senior director positions with Dept of Defense, NASA HQs, NOAA, Dept of Energy and the SEC.
I began making cakes in my spare time, but while stationed in Germany I was unable to keep up with demand. Once I retired and was able to devote more time, I still could not keep up with the demand so I only take limited orders for specialized cakes.
