Hello and welcome to my little class shop! 

My name is Carla and I’ve been decorating cookies since October of 2010 😳 I’m from and still live in Trinidad and Tobago (I have an accent, brace yourselves if you haven’t heard me talk before 🤣). Cookie decorating was never on my radar and I came upon it completely by accident. This was never meant to be my job but my uncle took an order from me and told me he’d already took a down payment for me so I had to take the order or else... and here I am! My background is no where near art related, it’s in aviation of all things... flying helicopters —-> cookie decorating, not the most natural progression and I’m still confused by it 🤣

I’ve been teaching cookie decorating since 2015, mostly in person until 2020 when Big Co-Co hit and I took things virtual. I stopped selling cookies and it was the greatest act of self love I’ve ever given myself! I have ADORED teaching virtually and I feel so honored that anyone wants to learn from me! I’ve  made so many friends in my students and consider so many of them family now! 

My absolute favorite style to work and teach in is realism... I’m super detail oriented and realism really just rings all my bells 😬! I don’t know that I have a specific style that is immediately identifiable as cookies that are immediately and obviously my work and I blame that on my ADHD lol. My mind is just constantly going and I’m always trying new things... which makes it sound like I make grand plans to expand my repertoire as a deliberate kind of thing but really it’s because I get bored very easily, sometimes even mid-cookie 🤣

I’m so thankful that you took the time to check out my little store and if you’ve made it to the end of this particular section, I apologize for the blabbing 😬 I look forward to teaching some time soon ❤️
