I spent eleven years with the State Department, and when overseas spent a lot of time both hosting and attending special events. I love the way a good cake, or cookie, can add to an event and make it seem that much more special. Colleagues unable to find what they were looking for on the local market, often asked me to create something for their events. I loved doing it. And while I am passionate about foreign policy, I've always been happiest in the kitchen. I decided to make a change. 

So here we are with Somerset Cakes, a home-based boutique bakery. Using only the best ingredients, I work with each client to design something that will treat their taste buds and their eyes. And we accept only a few orders a week to ensure each one gets the attention it deserves. I won't establish Middle East peace baking, but maybe I can help make people's lives a little more sweet.
