Take Your Hobby to the Next Level with STLCC Continuing Education

When life handed Carla Soll heartache, she turned it into something sweet. After the loss of her infant daughter, Kyra, she discovered cake decorating through a St. Louis Community College Continuing Education class.

What began as therapy quickly became a passion and she turned that passion into Anointed Cake Creations, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes for all occasions. That first class inspired her to continue her education through STLCC’s Culinary Arts program and, eventually, to build a thriving business rooted in creativity and faith.

Today, Carla has come full circle—teaching the same cake decorating class that once inspired her. For nearly ten years, she’s helped students find confidence, creativity, and sometimes even a new calling. She encourages them to quiet their self-doubt, take chances, and learn by doing.

Inspired by Carla? Register for her class, Cake Decorating for Fun or Profit: Beginning and Intermediate on p. 24, or start your own sweet success story!
