Go behind the scenes of a high-end custom cake business in Aspen, Colorado, where the "cake maker for the rich and famous" will take you on a rollercoaster ride through cakes and clients that defy the imagination!
"What the heck was I thinking?"
That is what Sandy Hargrave often asks herself, looking back over some of the more ostentatious designs throughout her twenty-five-year career as a cake decorator for the world's most prestigious clients. From cakes transported on crowded airplanes, to a 3D design on the Food Network Cake Challenge, and even to a cake that traveled up a ski gondola during a blizzard, Sandy's confections have gone on some wild rides.
Making large custom cakes is so much more than just eggs and flour. Sandy's storied journey has involved crazy adventures, ridiculous mishaps, and countless OMG moments. The Real Stories Behind The Pretty Cakes gives a rare look behind the scenes of an international legend in the cake decorating industry.

This is the story of a woman who went from looking in cake shop windows wondering how they did that stuff to becoming one of the top cake decorators in the world. Perfect for fans of baking shows and cake competitions, and for anyone who's ever dreamed of the most epic wedding or birthday cake imaginable, The Real Stories Behind The Pretty Cakes is your ticket to the secret inner world of the tastiest career on the planet.
