The Grinch Cake! ❤️🎅🏼🎄🎁 💚
It is the end of my journey in “The Greatest Baker” competition, but not the end of my journey in being the greatest baker I can be!
From the very bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single one of you who voted for me! Making it to the quarter-finals in a nationwide competition is a pretty big accomplishment in my books…and it would not have been possible without YOU! I believe I have the most amazing supporters in the world, and I am just at a loss for words at the amount of love I have received throughout all of this!
As promised, I will be giving away this cake to one of you! The WINNER is…Payton Reed! 👏🏼
If you don’t like sentimental, heartfelt things…then you can stop reading here 😂
Before starting my business, I was an Area Manager at Amazon and a Transportation Planner at Koch! Both of these were my dream companies to work for as a freshly graduated college student! I was a straight A, honor roll student my whole life…so I had high expectations for myself and my career. I expected to thrive in the corporate world with an incredible salary and great benefits. But my mental health had hit rock bottom…and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to keep going. Many people ask why I chose to leave such a stable, financially beneficial,
“real” job. And I will tell you why - I wasn’t happy. It’s as simple as that. This life is so short, and I decided I don’t want to spend it forcing myself to be what society tells me to be. If you were to ask me what my dream job is, it is to make people happy. It is to bring a smile to people’s faces, to help others in any way I can, to make people feel heard, seen, and understood. When I leave this earth, I want to be remembered for how I made people feel. I want people to say, “Callie was a really good person”. Not “Callie was so rich”, “Callie was so successful”, “Callie was so smart”. Because that stuff doesn’t matter to me. What does matter to me is feeling as though people see my heart and soul. That they leave a conversation with me feeling better about themselves. That they know they are loved by someone, even if it is a stranger.
Cakes By Callie is more than just a business to me. It is my way of doing what brings me peace. My way of giving back to others. My way of showing others that you can do whatever you set your mind to. YOU are in charge of your own life, so do what makes YOU happy.
