Camille Flimn was a flight attendant for 15 years, but she was laid off when the

airline company she worked for closed.

Out of the love for putting on birthday parties for

her children, she turned her passion for cake decorating into a business – Cake

Couture Ja.

“With absolutely no professional training, my first

cake order was a ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ cake for my daughter’s friend,” the

mother of four shared.

Camille, who believes her talent is a God-given, added: “I do love to bake specialty items like macaroons, cake pops, cupcakes, and other dessert items.”

The entrepreneur also shared that she has no

additional staff.

“I don’t have staff. I am pretty much a one-woman

show. I do have a baker, but, on occasion, I bake and do all the decorative

elements and executions. I take such pride in each cake (they’re like my

babies). I simply couldn’t allow anyone else to touch them,” she jokingly said.

Camille, who revealed she has 100 per cent control of

everything at her company Cake Couture Ja, confessed that the demand for her

cakes is quite overwhelming at times.

“Time is the most strained resource; time to connect

with all my potential clients, the time it takes to execute some orders and

time with my hubby and children,” she said.

Despite the time constraint, Camille insists her clients

won’t be shortchanged.

“This is art, in and of itself, each cake is its own

masterpiece. No cake is average, and all are priced according to the technical

merit and media employed,” she explained.

And with the art being so special to her, Camille wants

to share her talent with the world in the near future.

“I would love to share my talent with others; teaching

is where I’m heading,” she said.

She also added that customers can look forward to some

tasty Jamaican chocolate edibles when she takes up a scholarship she won in a

cake decorating competition at the Sweet Art Bake Expo a few years ago.
