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

Finding a way to get vegetables into the mouths of kids is easy if they are part of the fun. Creating ways to get kids to help with the preparation and the cooking of kids' recipes is part of the fun.
