After earning a degree in Fine Arts, Catherine chose to pursue her culinary passion and embarked on a successful 10-year career as a pastry chef, working on both coasts and winning rave reviews from The New York Times. When the 3-D Soccer Ball cake she made on a lark for her son’s peewee soccer team brought a flood of cake orders from friends, her cake business, Sublime Bakery, was born. Catherine’s creative custom cakes, her devotion to organics, and her line of gluten free and vegan products, set her shop apart from the Dallas-Fort Worth competition from day one. She appeared on Food Network Challenge, My Fair Wedding with David Tutera, Whose Wedding is it Anyway, and in national magazines such as The Knot and Food Network Magazine. In late 2010 Catherine was faced with a new challenge when she found herself suffering the crippling pain of rheumatoid arthritis. Rejecting the drugs her doctor prescribed, she instead created an anti-arthritis diet and lifestyle program for herself, healing her body in just a few short weeks. In addition to teaching cake decorating, baking and pastry, she is now a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Wellness Foods Chef, helping others to regain their health through her new business, A Well-Nourished Life. You can connect with Catherine on Twitter @CatherineRuehle, and at SublimeBakery.com.
