Meet Wanda Lord-Steele: The Artist Behind the Cake
For Wanda Lord-Steele, cake decorating began with a simple desire to create a special first birthday cake for her son. While working as a teacher, a fellow educator introduced her to cake decorating techniques, sparking what would become a lifelong passion.
After becoming a stay-at-home mother, Wanda began creating cakes on the side. What started as a hobby quickly grew through word-of-mouth referrals and satisfied customers.
