From Upstate NY the young couple moved to Cape Coral, FL where Bess worked in corporate America before finding her true passion in cakes. Bess and her husband have two children -Tyler and Katelyne.

After some convincing, Jeff, joined the dream and LadyCakes Bakery opened their first location in 2014. Since LadyCakes has opened, the bakery has achieved national, global and regional recognition for their creative designs, innovations and entrepreneurial greatness.
