Hi everyone welcome to my website my name is Kay and I am the owner/baker/sugar artist of Katz Imaging Custom Cakes.
I have loved baking since the age of 5 . I use to bake with my Grandmother making wonderful breads , cakes and cookies.
It wasn't until I turned 16 that I jumped into baking and decorating cakes for friends and family. Being young and new to cake decorating came lots of "up and downs", lots of frustration, and I lost the love and drive for cake decorating so I stopped at the age of 20.

It wasn't until my wedding day in 2006 that I touched a cake again and created my own wedding cake. I started baking again for family and friends but nothing fancy or creative, my love was still not there. Thanks to my husband Mike, he helped and encouraged me to do my best and keep baking.
With the help of God we were on our way to a new chapter in life and lots of cake decorating ...... SURPRISE .............we were pregnant !!!!!!!

In 2008 my daughter was born and she brought lots of joy and love into our family. Of course that meant her 1st Birthday cake was not going to be made by anyone else but me. After many countless hours on Flickr and Youtube viewing pictures, I came across the work of Mayen from Way Beyond Cakes, Andrea Sullivan from Sweet Cakers, Bonnie Gordon, and my fire for creating, baking and decorating was in highspeed again. I was determined to create a great cake for my daughter's birthday and became self taught in gumpaste and figure modeling .
The moment of truth "Will my daughter know it is Dora and Boots"...... YES she said it was Dora and Boots ....her 1st Birthday Cake was a success. Everyone was shocked to find out everything was edible. The orders started coming in and it has been non-stop .
My love for baking, creating, and decorating has not burned out and it never will. I am always looking out for what's new and updating myself with new techniques by attending classes with Andrea Sullivan as well as Golda's Kitchen. In the near future I will become a student of Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionary Arts, to get my Masters in Sugar Art, Chocolate, and Pastries. Until then I will keeping working hard at what I love to do. I hope to create a one of a kind cake for you .
With Love
Kay
