Within a year, Marsha was
requested to begin teaching decorating classes. A short while later,
Marsha also began coordinating a large and active teaching staff in
Houston, Texas, for an international cake and candy products firm.
Her talents have won her awards
in many cake decorating techniques, including buttercream decorating,
cocoa painting, royal icing work, foreign techniques, etc.
Marsha has planned and
coordinated several cake shows, including being a co-coordinator for two
large state shows in Texas. She also enjoys participating in shows as a
judge and demonstrator.
Marsha's career and personal life
came together when she met her soon-to-be-husband Roland Winbeckler (Roland's
cake photos) at an ICES convention (international cake decorator's
convention). She then moved from Houston, Texas, to Kent, Washington,
where Roland resided at the time. In 2003, Marsha and Roland
moved to Redding, California.
Roland and Marsha own and manage
CakeSuppliesPlus.com--A-J Winbeckler Enterprises, through which they
teach classes, produce and sell books and DVDs, and sell decorating
products online. Cake decorating has taken them across the U.S. and to
Australia, Jamaica, and Canada.
Marsha edited Winbeckler's
Cake and Candy Chronicle, an
international cake decorating newsletter (back
issues available on our web site), for 17 years and the
International Cake Exploration Societe (ICES) Newsletter for over 13
years. Marsha is currently on the Editorial Board for American
Cake Decorating Magazine and a contest judge for Cakes We Bake, an online Cake Decorating Community.
Appearances on TV, including the Food
Network's Sesame Street Cakes and TLC's Ultimate Cake Off,
and demonstrating at international cake decorator's conventions (ICES)
are among highlights in Marsha's career.
She is the author of three
books, Cocoa and Chocolate Painting, Wafer
Paper Uses, and Decorating
With Rolled Buttercream Icing, plus a candy DVD, Easy
Chocolate Tempering and Candy Coating Uses.
