I am an at home cottage baker located in Appleton, Wisconsin. I created the Amanda Cupcake brand in 2011. After coming back home to Wisconsin after living out in California  working in the fashion industry for a decade, I started dressing up cupcakes instead of people and ultimately created my own fashion cupcake brand. I published a cupcake blog, where I shared my recipes.  I started by selling my cupcakes at a small local diner in my hometown. I opened my own bakery called The Cupcake Mansion and  sold my cupcakes at the local grocery chain, Woodmans. After this wild ride as Amanda Cupcake, I discovered my truest joy is being a cupcake designer, instead of being a cupcake manufacturer. I didn't want to lose my love for my art. So now I bake from home, and host cupcake pop up shops at local events. You may see me here & there as a guest, baking on local morning shows. I love to write, and share my passion for creating. I am dabbling a little bit in creating cupcake reels & content for social media. I have a passion for intertwining my teaching skills with speaking out about mental health.  My ultimate goal eventually is to have my own studio where I can host events, classes & pop up shops. The income that I make from my pop up events goes right into my dream of opening up an Amanda Cupcake studio. Maybe someday I'll be the "Mrs Fields" of cupcakes... but right now, I am having fun. I always wanted to be a fashion designer, I just never knew that cupcakes would be my models.
