Terry Coniglio's Description:

Hello All!

My name is Terry Coniglio and I'm the founder of Sweetie Cakes & Pies.  This blog started out as a hobby and has snowballed into something more.  I'm in the process of taking it to the next level and making it my full time job.  Any advice or tips from other cake decorators and bakers are always appreciated!

I primarily do cakes, but I like to throw in a meat pie creation every once in a while! :)
Best,
Terry
