In my first blog in October, I had the pleasure of introducing you to Stephanie De La Cerda, the 2007 and 2008 Wilton Method Instructor of the Year. I am so excited to announce that Stephanie has once again earned top honors as the 2009 WMI of the Year – our first ever 3-peat winner!!! (Seen here with one of her creations.)
Stephanie is professional, dedicated and passionate about cake decorating. She continues to make teaching Wilton her full-time job by offering multiple classes every day of the week in both English and Spanish. Her efforts resulted in over 1,900 Wilton students last year at her Michaels store in Brownsville, TX. WOW!
Because she has so many students flowing through classes, she stays engaged with the community and uses cake decorating as a way to give back to those in need. Her current outreach project is a shining example of how much Stephanie cares – she is volunteering her time and talent to help a young cancer patient achieve her dream of learning cake decorating. I’m certain that this act of kindness will be very meaningful to both of them!
Congratulations Stephanie, we are so excited to have you on our team! For more information on The Wilton School or Wilton Method Classes in your area, please visit the Wilton Classes page. Learn more about becoming a Wilton Method Instructor!
Shawn is a Senior Class Marketing Manager for the Wilton Educational Marketing Department. She joined Wilton 15 years ago as a Product Development Coordinator, and learning how to decorate the Wilton Way was the best part of her training! In addition to working with customers in North America, Shawn also works with the International Sales team to expand Wilton Method classes around the world. Celebrations provide a common thread between cultures, and she is amazed and inspired by the excitement people have for Wilton products and programs, no matter where they live. Shawn loves cooking, baking and decorating, especially when she can share her creations with others.
