Teacher Amina Khan gets high marks as cake-maker, decorator

Amina Khan has been putting her exceptional touches on cakes for a little over two years. The Business/ Integrated Science/Social Studies teacher said it was her passion for cake-making and decorating that led to her opening her own business although her distinct touches to cakes began years ago with her mother in their kitchen.

“Baking is both hot and hard work,” Amina said. “But at the end I can just stand back and admire my work. I know what I want my finished product to look like and before it’s done I’m anxious as to if it’ll come out as it should. But it has always, since I began doing this, brought a lot of satisfaction.”

That satisfaction increases when she sees her customers beaming as they receive their cakes.
