Hi! My name is Nanci. I have lived in the Cincinnati, Ohio area for my entire life and love it here. I worked for nearly 27 years as a pet groomer and am now a receptionist in an awesome little grooming shop. I live with my boyfriend of 10 years and our 4 cats. I have 3 kids and 7 grandkids whom I adore. I make special occasion cakes as a hobby. My favorite cooking story is from when I catered my niece's wedding in North Carolina. I had finished displaying the 5 tier cake with 7 minute frosting and was in the kitchen finishing the food when we heard a huge crash in the reception room. The cake had collapsed from the heat and humidity! I quickly made up a new batch of frosting and put it back together before the guests arrived. The bride didn't even notice the difference!</p>
