Nicole studied Accounting at Metro State University of Denver, where she completed the coursework to sit for the CPA exam. After working most of her adult career in Public Accounting, she decided that becoming a CPA was not her true calling, She decided instead to follow her dream of becoming a full-time cake artist.
She now owns a successful home-based business, Snarky Sweet Cake Chick, LLC where she creates epic cake designs for her clients. When she’s not baking, she dedicates her time to educating and inspiring other hobby bakers on the business side of baking as a Certified Fix This Next Advisor and Certified Profit First Professional. She was named the 2022 Entrepreneur of the Year by the Arvada Colorado Chamber of Commerce and is also the Author of the Best Selling Book, Baking Your Way To Top: How to Start & Grow Your Own Home-Based Baking Business.
