Who Is The PolkaDot Cupcake?

     Twenty-five or so weeks ago Suzan Woodke sat down at her cousin Mary Voorhies, of Get Baked In Delphi, house on her birthday and decorated her very first set of cookies. The rest, as you know, is history. Her interests grew into cakes, cupcakes, and cake pops, and she completely fell in love. Thus, The PolkaDot Cupcake was born.
     Well, kind of... The PolkaDot Cupcake started 5 years ago as a place for Suz to show off her crafts. She loved the name for its cute, girly quality; the baking came much later. It must have been fate. 
     Now that you know how we came to be, and what we do, we want you to know who we are. The PolkaDot Cupcake is 7 women who all came together in various ways, and forged lifelong friendships. So meet the ladies of The PolkaDot Cupcake.
     Suz is our founder, and for all intents and purposes, our matriarch. She is like a mom to most of us... or our actual mom. She is the creative force behind everything you see and taste. She isn't exactly fond of sweets, cake in particular, though she'd make and exception for cherry chip. Despite her dislike for sweets, baking is her true calling. Her lack of professional training hasn't stopped her from being a self-taught wonder.
     She is currently a Home Health Care nurse specializing in end of life care. It is also something she loves, but knows that after the man she is working for passes away, she won't have it in her heart to try again. She is a Logansport, Indiana native and is hoping to see the business thrive in our historic downtown district one day. She was born June 30th and is a Cancer. She is a homebody and makes every place warm, cozy and inviting. Her favorite colors are pink and green, so if a lot of it pops up in our designs, you'll know why. Also the Sock Monkeys and Hello Kitty's are her claim, too.
     Suz is our backbone. She may be a Medical Administrator working in Home Health Care, but she is a baker and a mom at heart. She is what brought all of us together, and is the constant glue keeping the bond strong. Her dream is to open a bakery that feels like home. A place to make treats that make everyone feel special. We are a unique group with a wonderful woman at the helm. Suz can't wait to see all of her girls at home in their very own shop, spending time together doing what they love. She is the heart of our PolkaDot Cupcake dream.
