My Story

My name is Karen Wall and I am the owner and operator of Sweet Dreams Cake Shop.  I am a mother of 4 young children and have been married to my husband Christopher for 13 years.  Before starting the cake shop in 2017, I practiced as a Nurse Practitioner taking care of adults in the acute care setting. and also worked as a Registered Nurser on a medical floor for many years.  After having my oldest son 11 years ago I discovered my love of baking.  As his first birthday approached I decided to tackle his birthday cake myself instead of paying a bakery or retailer to make it.  It was then I discovered that not only did I love to bake but I loved to design and decorate as well.  My love blossomed and grew from there.  I initially only baked for family and friends but when we moved from Florida to Pennsylvania in 2016 I decided to take the exciting leap and start Sweet Dreams Cake Shop as a way to get involved in the community as well help supplement the family income while staying at home caring for our children.  I decided to start this blog as a way to share my love of baking, the stories behind some of my creations and to provide a creative outlet for myself and others that love to bake and decorate.
