3: Inspire & be Inspired Karen Summers

In this episode of the podcast, Karen talks about her first job. I’ll bet you’ll never guess what it was. Yep. A cookie decorator. She actually started making cakes and quickly found a love for decorating cookies.

When I met Karen we had an instant bond and friendship that has continued to grow stronger each year and it all started with a weekend of cookie camp. Now with Cookie Con, Karen and Mike continue making a place where decorators can get together and experiment with supplies, meet new friends, and form friendships that will last a lifetime.

We all know the many talents of Karen like how she can juggle four kids. Decorate cakes and cookies. Organize a huge cookie convention with one hand tied behind her back. And has a million other talents that I’m totally jealous of. But did you know that her husband Mike is a very talented painter? The paintings are breathtaking! You can find Mike Summers Art here. There is a painting of a butterfly that looks so real you’ll think it’s photograph instead of a painting. Not to mention the other incredible works of art. His work is incredible! You really need to see his artwork!

Lynne Schuyler-These podcasts are so fun!!! It’s great to hear cookiers tell their stories. Living in Idaho, I’m an online shopper by necessity and was completely surprised when I placed an order from Karen’s Cookies and it shipped from 3 hours away. I’m probably the only person sorry CookieCon is moving, but I totally understand the excitement of everyone within driving distance of Indianapolis. It truly is a great experience for anyone interested in decorating cookies.

Congrats Lynne! I’ve sent you an email on what you need to do to claim your ticket!

Bear hugs,
