“It is my hope to inspire pastry chefs, cake bakers and cake artists to come together to promote business growth
and to show off their awesome techniques and creative designs,” says Green. “I so enjoy holding competitions. I
am meeting people who share my passion for life, learning, baking, and growing as a person. I, along with many
cake artisans are determined to carry on the conclave of baking from the heart and soul,” explains Green.
Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too? “I have the best job in the world. I am meeting people who
share my passion for life, learning, baking, and growing as a person. I love everything about baking and the
fascination with what you can do with a few simple ingredients. Baking has been a lost art for a long time. The
industry has been revolutionized so much that I, along with many cake artisans are determined to carry on the
conclave of baking from the heart and soul,” say’s Green.
Green, a well-known event planner in Philadelphia has been passionate about cakes since childhood. She started
baking cakes for family, friends, neighbors, businesses and church events over 20 years ago and the rest is
history. “It all began with my granddaddy that baked great gingerbread cakes when I was a little girl. I watched
and handed him the ingredients,” she says. Green, when not planning the competitions, bakes and donates
cakes to orphanages, prison ministries and recovery centers, shelters, nursing homes, and battered women and
children homes. Green held many cake competitions in Philadelphia, PA before relocating to Atlanta.
