Kelly Shepard, the creative force behind Kelly's Cakery in Florence, KY, shares her journey from culinary school to becoming a beloved local baker. Inspired by crafting her own wedding cake, Kelly transformed her career aspirations from catering to baking, with wedding cakes now being her specialty. Her story is not only about edible art but also about overcoming challenges—like the dreaded dropped cake—and how passion and preparation lead to sweet success. Strawberry, her favorite flavor, shines as a testament to her love for creating memorable cake experiences. 

We also explore the crucial balance between work and personal life as Kelly manages a bustling bakery. She candidly discusses setting boundaries with clients and involving her children in the business to impart life skills. Discover how family trips, like a pastry-laden adventure to Puerto Rico, contribute to sustaining her enthusiasm. As we celebrate community, we're reminded of the importance of supporting local businesses. Don't miss the chance to participate by nominating your favorite enterprises for future episodes, and remember to always be a good neighbor.
