About Mary Jo

Two years prior, we had the pleasure of designing her daughter’s beautiful wedding and Mary Jo came to us looking to expand on her already impressive career in the various arts. She holds a Bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts in Illustration from Carnegie Mellon University. For 15 years Mary Jo worked as an art director at CMU, after which, she put her skills to use in the culinary world by becoming a Certified Master Sugar Artist. Her business, Frosting and Crumbs, creates amazing and delicious cakes and sweet treats. 

Mary Jo always has a creative solution to any challenge we face on the design floor and has a quick eye for color. Her favorite designs to create are intricate cuffs, boutonnieres, flower crowns and floral jewelry. She is also the one who tends to keep our shop neat and tidy which is always appreciated!
