My name is Wendy McMullen, I live in Mississippi where I am married to my husband Chuck and we have three beautiful children, Kylee 15, and 12 year old twins, Parker and Noah. I am the owner of Mississippi Sweets which is a boutique style cake shop that is located in the heart of our downtown area. I just recently celebrated the one year anniversary of opening. Before opening my shop I was a stay-at-home mom. I have been decorating for the public for four years. I’m mostly self-taught by watching lots of you tube videos and I have a subscription to SugarEd Productions and the SugarGeek Show. I have attended several demo and hands on classes by people such as Sharon Zambito, Jay Qualls, Reva Alexander-Hawk, Dawn Parrot, Sarah Myers, and several others. I am also a member of ICES (International Cake Exploration Societé) where I’m able to participate in sharing with others short demos and tips/tricks . My dream has come true of owning my own shop, but I haven’t stopped dreaming. One day I hope to have a classroom where I can teach others the skill of decorating cakes.
