My name is Karen Summers. I started decorating cakes in college in 1994, when I was required to take a cake decorating course for my Culinary Arts major. Since then, my eyes have been opened to all kinds of sugar art, including cookie decorating. I worked as a professional cake and cookie decorator for 4 years, until I had a baby in the spring of 2000.

Now I live in Portland, Oregon, with my wonderful husband Mike and our cute little boy, Casey. My priority right now is being a full-time wife and mother, so I don't decorate as often as I used to. I like to keep my skills sharp by teaching others to decorate and by making cookies and cakes for family and friends on occasion.

I hope you are able to find some useful information here. Let me know if you have any suggestions for the site. I'd love to hear from you!
