Where in Charlotte do you live and where did you grow up? I grew up just outside of Richmond, Virginia and moved to Charlotte to attend Johnson & Wales University. After graduating with degrees in baking, food service, and culinary arts I bought a house with my husband in the Oakhurst neighborhood and started baking from home as Ella’s Celestial Cakes.
Tell us about your job. What do you like most about it? What are the challenges?
Celestial Cakery is an award-winning wedding and custom cake bakery. Most recently, I opened SWIRL, which has a focus on made-to-order cupcakes, ice cream and assorted desserts. My favorite part is the look on someone’s face when they see their custom cake for the first time or bite into a made-to-order cupcake. Being the boss also allows me the flexibility to take a day off or leave early without anyone’s approval. I truly love what I’ve built and I’m thankful every day for the opportunity to continue baking.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
