Q: What do you want to do with photography?
A: Photography was never part of my plan. I always loved taking pictures. When I took basic photography, I fell in love. Photography is a hobby like baking. I want to take pictures of my cakes.
Q: Why did you start baking?
A: My mom always baked my birthday cakes when I was little, so I learned from her. She sparked my love for baking.
Q: How many cakes do you bake in a month?
A: It depends on my schedule. I don’t make any cakes when I have tests!
Q: How much do you charge for your cakes?
A: I try to be the most affordable, fresh baker around. It depends on size and decorations. I try to work with any budget.
Q: Do you want to own your own bakery one day?
A: That’s the plan. I want to open a bakery called “Kakes by Kassie” in the East Tennessee area.
