The entire idea of K.T.'s Confoxionary developed slowly and mistakenly. At the end of summer 2015, I'd been working for Kroger for a few months... when a manager asked if I was going to attend the cake decorating contest for our district. I had never heard of this event and thought, "what the heck... attend, participate and learn." Immediately my confidence stepped up. I went on to the next round of the competition in Indianapolis. I was MIND BLOWN! The talent that was in the room was insane. To my surprise I was invited to attend the "Indy" event again in 2016. Of course I went. And of course I was MIND BLOWN again at all the talent. I have been blessed to work for a company that explores, enhances, develops and supports positions that require a crafty niche. If it wasn't for Kroger, who knows if I ever would have taken it upon myself to play with finer components in the art of cake and cookie decorating.
While my piping bag skills continued to develop I participated in a small group study with some gals from church. Living the Elijah Project by Andrea M. Polnaszek, LCSW. I remember putting forth a great deal of time in the second activity in the workbook. A light bulb went off and steps towards developing K.T.'s Confoxionary soon followed.
