Spring has sprung and I am loving the additional hours of daylight! The Spring market seems like it started a little early this year, perhaps because of the mild winter, and I am taking advantage of the longer days.

 

Kyra continues to pursue golf with Erik as her coach and I keep busy working with my great clients. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my clients during some of the most important transitions in their life.

Thank you for your continued support.

Favorite Business SpotLight:

Cake Hoopla

 

 

I discovered a new business that I loved and wanted to share it with you. Last month I took Kyra to Cake Hoopla, a cute DIY cake decorating studio in Tigard. We had a blast decorating cake together and it's a perfect spot for those who love a creative, hands on experience. 

 

 This innovative DIY cake-decorating studio turns ordinary celebrations into extraordinary memories with no-bake cakes, cupcakes, and endless frosting fun.

 

Whether you're planning a birthday bash, team-building event, girls' night out, or just a creative afternoon escape, Cake Hoopla offers everything you need: in-studio parties, expert-led classes, open studio sessions, and convenient grab-and-go kits or pre-decorated treats. Kids love piping colorful designs and adding sprinkles, while adults enjoy themed workshops (think elegant buttercream flowers or trendy drip cakes) in a relaxed, welcoming space. 

 

What makes Cake Hoopla so popular right now? It's the perfect blend of retail charm and interactive entertainment. Think no mess at home, all the joy of custom baking. That's my kind of place! Check it out and let me know whaty you think!
