Meet Maria of Mery’s cake
My name is Mery, I’m 34 years old and I’m Italian [originally from Pozzuoli, a small town in Naples]! I have been married to one of my countrymen for 13 years and we have 2 children, the first of 12 years and the second of 10 years. I have always liked being in the kitchen and this passion for cakes was born several years ago when for the first time I saw the 3D Barbie cake on the web, there I felt something inside that I can’t explain, and on the same day I tried to make it for my princess [it was a normal day, no anniversary and she was very happy] the next day I tried to make another one for my son for the simple pleasure of experimenting! And it was there that I discovered the cake boss Buddy Valastro on TV and since then he was my idol. for any occasion I ventured without fear to always create new things, which unfortunately were not much today with the tools and techniques and that little extra practice and experience lead me to create cakes that are not yet 100% perfect but quite watchable 😅 ❣Internet and my willpower have brought me this far! My job is what makes me proud! When I arrived here with this passion in my heart I did another job … but I would have loved to work in this area! My colleagues told me that I had talent and that I should take this path! I lost almost all my hopes when someone told me that not everyone in this country can do the job they love … I got sick but the following year, with my stubbornness I found a job in a pastry shop in the area where I worked for a few months learning techniques that were different from those of my country. And I was super happy and incredulous that someone was paying me for something that I thought was a game! Already I had started making small advertisements and so I was also working on weekends at home, until I reached a point where I only dedicated myself to this❣My little pastry at home is called Mery’s cake and I am proud of it❣ I don’t have millions of customers, but the ones I have [for them] will never change me and this makes me even more proud! I love my job, I love to create, I love to amaze and I love to surpass myself❣It is a great satisfaction for me [after my children and my family there is my job]. Even this work like many others is subject to imitations 😅, before I got a little angry because I am always there to think about what news to present to update my page day by day, because I don’t like being one of many but I like to excel and I I like to update the designs of my cakes, follow the trends and keep the page updated with new and interesting things! Then another comes and copies my idea! He is not very nice … but today I am not angry anymore, on the contrary, I consider them my fans … 🤣 and because in the end they can copy a photo, imitate an idea but they cannot copy what you have in your heart, that comes from inside and belongs only to you, and they are not the same hands and the same passion that unites us! And about this I always like to think about the words of a loved one who disappeared despite having fought so much against a bad disease 😞, Richie Morris [my husband worked for him] last said to me “hey girl, you have the hands of ‘oro “He was a good person and I had more than once sent him cakes as a sign of esteem and affection! And the day before he left this world he asked me with a hint of voice for a special cake, a 3d baseball with a chocolate flavor … a race against time … [I felt under pressure because it was a his desire openly expressed … I did not know it would be the last 😞 but for sure it had to be fulfilled❣ The next day I brought it to him and after a few hours I left him! I will always remember his words with affection! And I carry this sweet memory in my heart! Thanks Richie for giving me this sweet and indelible memory! This is often my way of showing my affection I like to give cakes! In recent years I have given many of them … starting with the teachers in the first school that my children attended here … to people in need! Or I remember that my children were included in the afternoon tutorial the first year … which helped them learn the language better … their friends waited for me with open arms 😅 every time I went to school 10 minutes before the tutorial ended and I brought them cupcakes or cakes of different themes ☺️ and they were crazy about it! I believed in my potential and I’m happy to do the job I’ve always dreamed of! I have always been an all-rounder in my house in Italy 🥰 from painting the walls, changing the look of the furniture and learning to sew to change the look of the house with custom-made doilies and curtains! But I also dyed my hair by myself and got my nails done with the gel! I was pretty good at everything that had to be done with the hands and my weak point is the glitters 😍 I still love them today maybe more since I use edible ones❣ It was not easy … like every beautiful thing you have to have tenacity and obstinacy … because yes I had a very hard head 😅❣ I would like to improve even more and learn some style of cake that is not for everyone portata I hope I can achieve this other great goal! To my work I owe a lot … it literally saved me this summer … back from the spontaneous abortion of my twins, it was the only thing that gave me strength and courage to go on and not to fall into the tunnel of depression! I don’t hide that I worked crying for both physical and mental pain … but there I did it! And I have to say thank you to my customers [and not] that at that time they kept ordering me cakes … and I, not knowing how to say no … I checked and completed my job! Thank you thank you very much! You saved me without knowing what was happening to me! I believe there was the lord’s hand in all of them! Thanks also to some good friends [Elizabeth Davila, among them]. And today, after almost 7 months, it is still my job to keep me mentally busy and to give me different goals to want to achieve! Soon for those who already follow or decide to follow me on my page Mery’s cake there will be an important novelty ☺️ that will concern a new area … but we always talk about cakes ☺️❣ So follow me in many ❣I knew that I liked the manual skills, but I didn’t know I received this great gift … my parents are very proud, my father looks at my incredibly wrapped cakes and asks me: Is it a cake? 😄! I am happy with this great opportunity … I am happy because only 5 years back I looked at Buddy and thought: how much I would like to work making cakes 🎂❤ and who knows what to say like him❣ It would be wonderful …. and now here I am 😍🥰❣ I am always me but with the job of my dreams❣ I have a long way to go, I’m starting out .. but I hope to go higher and higher! This is recommended to me … and I will always do it also with my children …. always follow your dreams❣If you realize you will be happy people ❣And if you love the job you do, you will not work even 1 day in the your life❣ Greetings to all of you readers of buxx magazine and a big hug to you
it has not been easy to become the woman I am today and I will still have challenges to overcome, but it is worth it when you pursue a dream❣
Mery’s cake is the name of my company, it is a bit obvious as a name, but it was the first that crossed my mind! I deal with themed cakes and sweet tables chosen by the customer! The sweet table includes: cupcakes, cake pops, covered pretzel, rice Krispies, covered oreo, covered straswberry and more. I have nothing compared to others … but many do it only because it is a job like others, I do it with passion! I am excited to see a finished cake especially if it was the one I dreamed of making time for! I’m no more special than others, I only do the job I’ve always dreamed of, using a talent that I didn’t know I had. I love making new designs and 3D cakes. I like challenges and by challenges I intend to accept to do things I have never done before 😁❣ It is a satisfaction to be able to complete the work in an almost always excellent way❣
in this journey with Mery’s cake what made me most proud was to participate in a competition called “WORLD’S TOP-RATED CAKES EXPERT, just a year ago and to get the first place for being the first qualified. I participated with the game of drone cake , a cake that I love and that provides a special technique for the effect of water and fire of dragons! Entirely edible cake! I love it because it is treated in detail! In reality there are many satisfying moments of this work, every time I do a new design and I do it well, this fills my heart with pride and satisfaction! I love when my clients tell me that they are the best for them and recommend me to their acquaintances! And a job with many facets … from the fear of not being able to recreate a cake [so days there thinking about how to do it, what technique to use] to the satisfaction of the day when I complete it ☺️❣And I realize that my head pushes me not to say but i no, even if it is a cake that i never made, i always challenge myself, i think i can do it and in the end i realize that it is like this, i always find a way and this is a source of great pride for me ❤❣ Ed This is the success for me❣In addition to having come this far with my stubbornness and hard head and a great desire to learn and emerge❣
