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. Email Kassie at krerwin@my.milligan.edu if you’re interested in her business!
