It’s easy to think that success is reserved for the fortunate and for those who were simply in the right place at the right time. From the outside looking in, the charm of owning a boutique cake shop certainly seems to be filled with sweet moments, but Diane’s (The Cake Lady) personal story is one scattered with wild twists and turns, starting at a very young age. Recalling the haunting memories of her past are the instances through which Diane acknowledges she learned life’s lessons.
Even during times when, for a moment, everything seemed picture perfect, Diane could not escape the bizarre sense of humor the universe seemed to reserve just for her. From being stranded on a stranger’s couch during a blizzard on her honeymoon to her brakes giving out while going downhill on a wedding cake delivery, Diane’s story has a surprise through every layer.
Along the way, Diane reflects upon the moments in her life when she learned the most about the power of self-determination combined with the power of prayer. She recalls in her humorous and often blunt manner, her most vulnerable missteps alongside her greatest triumphs where she felt God was truly behind it all.
The Cake Lady: My Life in the Mix shows how one can persevere through some of the life’s messiest, mixed-up situations with faith in God and in oneself as a guide.

Diane
The Cake Lady
The Kake Korner
Diane White was born and raised in Glen Burnie, Maryland. She was raised in a middle-class neighborhood with a Catholic upbringing and was headstrong and independent at a young age.
She overcame lots of issues early on and established her own cake business at the age of 18 years old. She went on to have more drama in her life, but by the grace of God overcame hell and high water to become the owner and operator of the prestigious Kake Korner in Laurel, Maryland.
She is now a 20-year veteran of that business and a mother of two and a grandmother of two – still independent and single and trusting the rest of her life will be guided by her trust in the Lord.
She now resides in Baltimore and has two other businesses besides the Kake Korner with she also successfully runs and maintains. Both her youngest daughter and her granddaughter now work at the business with her and she looks forward to one day selling it or passing it down so that she can retire gracefully.
