About Saralynn Reece:
Everyone has cupcake memories. Saralynn Reece, founder of That Takes the Cake, reports that one of her earliest memories is of carrying a tray of her mother's chocolate devil's food cupcakes with lots of white frosting piled on top (yum!) to share with her classmates. Cupcakes take you back to when life was simpler. Whether it's their creamy frosting, the feeling of paper peeling back, or the simple remembrance of Mom's kitchen, cupcakes have an uncanny ability to bring back your delightful childhood memories. Cupcakes are happiness. Saralynn Reece and cupcakes have a long and happy history together. Sara's love goes into each batch, and love tastes even better than frosting. Okay, nothing tastes better than frosting.
