Susan Carberry, the proud owner of The Cake Cottage in Murrieta, California, enrolled in her first cake decorating class in 1988 and after that the she just couldn't get enough of this wonderful world of sugar art. About one year later, Susan began entering cake shows, joining local cake clubs as well as teaching cake decorating classes. As Susan’s skills progressed, she began working as the lead cake designer for a bakery in Dana Point, California, helping it to become one of the most sought out bakeries in all of Orange County. During her time at the bakery, she was privileged to start giving Sugar Art Instruction and Demonstrations across the nation, and now internationally.

Throughout her career, Susan’s "Edible Works of Art" have won numerous awards and have been featured in magazines such as American Cake Decorator, as well as on the Food Network's show "Top Five". Susan has also competed in TLC’s Ultimate Cake Off several times, and in The Roller Derby episode, she skated away with the Grand Prize of $10,000.
