Everyday, students go in and out of the guidance office to make appointments with their counselors and each time they receive a bright yellow pass from Mrs. Heather Richardson, the guidance secretary. When she’s not in the guidance office, Richardson spends her time partaking in her very tasty hobby, cake decorating.

When Richardson was a kid, she helped her mother bake in the kitchen.  Her job was always to stir the batter. She then took a 4H class, a community program for rural areas, and has been decorating cakes ever since.

“I love sweet stuff,” Richardson said, so it makes sense why cake decorating was so appealing to her.

Although she has never sold any of her yummy creations, Richardson made a co-worker’s wedding cake, and she even made her own.

“The only thing I made my co-worker pay for was the supplies,” she said.

Wedding cakes can be prepared about a week in advance, which is why making her own cake was not as stressful as one would think.

“I had a very simple wedding cake, nothing too fancy,” Richardson said recalling her creation for her special day.

A four or five layer wedding cake with simple sugar-frosted flower decorations (real flowers were used!) was the delicious masterpiece Richardson put together.

It’s time to suck up, students and staff! You never know when Richardson will be feeling generous and bring in one of her delicious cakes or other baked goods for taste buds to test.
