In May 2012 I was diagnosed with BC after being in remission for 10 years. As expected I had a long course of treatment ahead of me. At this time, I put my Real Estate career on the back burner and just concentrated on getting better.

While I was recuperating, POP Culture was born. It started with me taking a few cake decorating classes. Then I decided to try my hand at these cake pops I was seeing online. I made a bunch of extra cake pops and told my son Dominic to take them into his plumbing class for his friends. Well he came home that afternoon and informed me he made $10. Then I started posting my creations on Facebook and people started to order. I know at first they were ordering to help me out since I was still out of work, but then their friends and family started ordering as well. I started to realize that POP Culture was more than a type of therapy, and decided I really wanted to turn this passion of mine into more than just a hobby.
