I watched and handed him the ingredients. I currently bake and donate cakes to orphanages, prison ministries and recovery centers, shelters, nursing homes, and battered women &amp; children homes. I also give cake competitions that inspire cake artisans to grow and become competitive in the industry. I have the best job in the world. I am meeting people who share my passion for life, learning, baking, and growing as a person. I love everything about baking and the fascination with what you can do with a few simple ingredients.<br /> <br /> It is impossible to measure the happiness we as bakers bring to others and the joy it brings us in return. Baking has been a lost art for a long time. The industry has been revolutionized so much that I, along with many cake artisans are determined to carry on the conclave of baking from the heart and soul.<br /> </span><br /> </font></div> <p align="left" class="style35"><font color="#FFFFCC" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><u>Proprietress / Event Planner Cleopatra Green</u></strong> </font></p> <table width="117" height="90" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#990066"> <tr> <td width="117" height="80"> <div align="center"> <table width="104" height="90" border="1" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FFFFAE"> <tr> <td width="100" height="80"> <div align="left"><font color="#FFFFCC" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="_Assets/images/patty-ads2.jpg" width="100" height="124" /></font></div></td> </tr> </table> </div></td> </tr> </table> <p align="justify" class="style35"><font color="#FFFFCC" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Cleopatra (referred to as Patty) is a Temple University trained social worker and mother of two sons who received her first taste of event planning as a child as she assisted her late parents, a Delta and a Kappa, with their sorority and fraternity social functions. Patty s mother was a school teacher (Masters of Sociology) and her father an Army Captain, Professor of Engineering and Technology, and the president of the Northwest Branch of the NAACP, Phila. PA., allowed Patty in her teenage years to work in diverse areas. Her grandfather, the late Bishop E.L Hickman, AME church, also played an integral part of inspiring Patty as she would attend large banquets and grand gatherings with him. In addition he was an awesome baker. <br /> <br /> In 1989, she was named seminar/facility coordinator at IBM. Soon after, she single handedly formed Nile Productions and became well known throughout Philadelphia as a leading event planner. Her events served numerous charities such as, Life on Life Recovery Aids House for Women, The Right Foundation Disease Control, Teen Challenge &amp; Men s Ministry Recovery Home, just to mention a few. Patty was also known for her Christian Women s Fellowship events as she brought spiritual support to women of all denominations. <br /> <br /> From 1999 to 2001, Patty founded along with co-founder Tim Barksdale and operated Revelations Gospel Nite Club which became the fastest growing and most well attended club of its kind in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Furthermore, Patty, herself, realized her love for baking after watching her grandfather bake gingerbread cakes for family and his ministerial staff. Now as the proprietress of <strong>PattyCakes </strong>Competitions, Patty regularly bakes and donates cakes for charitable organizations. She is soon to become owner of a organization, Fruitful Vine, which promises to promote a healthier way of life for abused women and children.<br> </font><font color="#FFFFCC" size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br> </font></p> <table width="262" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="10"> <tr> <td width="238" height="147"> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFCC" size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Donate to PattyCakes</font></p> <p align="center"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="PLXMZQRND97FY"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="PattyCakes Creative Cakes Competition"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </p> </form> <div align="center" class="style38"><font color="#FFFFCC" size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Each one <br> Reach one - Teach one.</font></div></td> </tr> </table> <p align="center" class="style35">&nbsp;</p> </div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <table width="781" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FFFFAE"> <tr> <td width="777" height="143"><div align="center"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="777" height="150"> <param name="movie" value="_Assets/flash/pattycakes_comp2010_1.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <embed src="_Assets/flash/pattycakes_comp2010_1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="777" height="150"></embed></object> </div></td> </tr> </table> <br> </div></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
