Who is The Cake Critic?


Michelle McMurray de Luces is The Cake Critic.  She is the voice of reason when it comes to desserts, and represents you, the public.  Her belief that every dessert should have “that special moment” drives her to examine, sample, critique and report on confectionaries from coast-to-coast.  When it comes to life’s simple pleasures, The Cake Critic knows her stuff.  With her unconventional commentary, kitchen wisdom, a trained pallet, and business savvy, she is the ultimate voice on creating and marketing fine dessert creations.
 
Originally born in the Midwest, Michelle has a master’s degree in business and now calls North Carolina home, where she is married and raising three children.  She also runs a successful wedding business, Wedding Story Writer, and several websites, conducts national tours, tries to maintain a full appearance schedule at local events in between weddings, and writes about – what else—cake.  
 
The Cake Critic began as a blog and has grown into a consulting business.  Her contacts and experiences are the topic of internet and newspaper articles that run locally and internationally.  Her web site, 
www.cakecritic.com, receives thousands of visits each month who view her critiques, ask questions and join in discussions about everyone’s favorite recipes and desserts.
 
Michelle loves to travel, collect cake plates and cake recipes, and spend time with family and friends.  She enjoys cooking, home decorating, and visiting restaurants and bakeries to sample specialty desserts.



The Cake Critic is available for conventions, ribbon cuttings, judging events, radio, marketing advertisements, and teaching classes.  She is also available as a content writer for events, weddings, and blogs and may be contacted to review foods and products.
