She takes the time to listen before she offers her opinion and she lets each individual be who they want to be through her work. Nacole Gourdine took an interest in the kitchen and making cakes while growing up watching and copying her grandmothers and great aunts every move.

In 2007 she acquired her business license in her hometown of North Wilkesboro, but it wan't until she moved to Concord where she was really able to focus on her are.

With flavors such as her luscious pineapple lemon cake and fillings such as her amaretto buttercream she is making a great name for herself.
