I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I currently live in Hiram Georgia with my wonderful husband and three sons. For as long as I can remember I have always had a passion for art, decorating and cooking. I was a licensed cosmetologist for over 15 year and a customer service coach for a huge telecom company and recently decided to channel my artistic abilities to cakes as well.
I have always wanted to take cake decorating but never found the time to do so. My sister gave me a Micheal's gift certificate for Christmas in December 2005 and I immediately signed up for the Wilton Cake decorating course. It's hard to believe that January 2006 was the very first time I ever laid eyes on a decorating bag but all things really are possible when you believe! With my newly discovered talent I decided to take Kakes By Kena to the web so that I could share my creations with people all over the world.
Although I had no idea that things would take off so quickly, I really do love my new found hobby :o). I know that GOD is preparing me for something great and with the support of my husband, kids, parents, sisters, other family members, friends and co-workers, I'm going to make it!! It takes TEAMwork to make the DREAM work!
"What is Faith? The confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see."
Many Blessings,
Shekena "Kake Queen" Talley, Cake Designer
