About the Author:
Mary Ann Ross and Kimberly Lainson are a dynamic mother and daughter team that became business partners in November 1997 for different reasons. Mom had taken an early retirement and was bored (one can only re-organize the fridge so many times!). Kimberly wanted to stay home with her four children. So, we did what we knew best… having fun with kids… and started an at-home business that has grown from one room in Mom's house to a converted outbuilding on her rural property in Washington and now located in a larger office/warehouse facility in the same general area. In our growth, we've added two additional web sites - CakeWorksCentral.com and HarryPotter-Birthday.com
