Let me introduce myself.

Hello there! I am so excited you are here at my site, welcome! My name is Nicole Short and I am the owner and founder of Short’s Cake’s by Nicole.

HOW DID I GET STARTED?

It really started at my first job at the age of 14. I thoroughly loved making all of the desserts. Presentation as well as the flavors in each bite crossed my mind with every dessert I made.

Once I moved into my own home, my love for baking really started to accelerate. I started off creating “healthy” desserts before there were so many dietary substitutes and recipes available. My Mom is unable to eat gluten and I am actually lactose intolerant myself! This has given me a special place in my heart for those who have dietary needs.

Around that time I also got married and became an Aunt. I offered to make all the goodies for their birthdays and that’s where the actual cake decorating began. Eventually, friends and coworkers started asking for me to make their treats. All of these opportunities were so much fun for the hobby I had grown to love.

One of my best friends insisted I create a page to showcase my cakes and that’s when ‘Short’s Cakes by Nicole’ was officially established in 2018. Baking went from a hobby and slowly progressed into a small business.

I cannot thank my friends, co-workers, and of course family for being there at the beginning steps and continuing to support me along the way. Also, thank you to all of my customers for your orders that allow me to do something I thoroughly enjoy in my free time.

DO I DO THIS FULL TIME?

Although I would love to, this is not my full time job.

WHAT ELSE DO I LIKE TO DO IN MY FREE TIME?

When I’m not in the kitchen, I enjoy going out to dinner, staying active whether that’s at home or at the gym, going on vacation, and I can’t forget to mention my love for dogs and of course my amazing Husband.
