Hi, I’m Shelby, a dental assistant turned caker, and the owner of Shelbycake!
In 2018 I got married and moved away from my home town of Mesa, Arizona and to a new place where I knew almost no one.
With this move came the challenge of meeting new people making new friends, and trying to find where I fit in.
For the first couple of years in this new town no matter what I did, I still felt out of place.
I felt that I had hardly any close friends...
I spent every day the same...work, home, sleep, wake up, work again...
I didn't feel like I contributed to those around me, and to be honest, it seemed as if nobody even knew I was there.
I felt alone, inadequate, and unsure how long it would take before this new place felt like home...or if it ever would.
I felt like I just wasn't progressing...
Overall I just felt stuck.
