So here's the truth about how Sweets by Shalisha started — it wasn't some childhood dream. It was a broke moment and a whole lot of “I guess I'll figure it out.”
I was planning my dad's 70th birthday party and by the time I got to the cakes, my budget said absolutely not!. So, I did what I do best: decided I could just, well... make them myself. No pressure, right?
Were they good? Absolutely!
Were they pretty? Baby, no.
They weren’t exactly bakery-worthy, but they were the beginning of something I didn’t know I’d fall in love with.
After I posted them, a friend saw the cakes and asked, “Ooh, can you make one that looks like a remote control?”
Now, I don't know what it is about a challenge, but somebody says “Can you?” and my mouth says “YES” before my brain even gets a vote.
And just like that, completely by accident, Sweets by Shalisha was born.
What started because I couldn't afford to buy a cake turned into a creative outlet, a new skill, and eventually, another side of me I never even knew existed.
