Jacque Benson (Couturiere) Bio

I was born in California, but raised in Arlington,Texas. After high school, I tutored under a European Master Tailor. I spent the next 30 years as a master tailor before retiring.

I always loved baking, and through the years tried my hand baking and decorating fun cakes for family and friends. But in 2004, I decided to take my first cake decorating course from Char Lanzarotti. I was hooked!
I fell in love with cake decorating.  But it was going to my first ICES Day Of Sharing that cinched the deal.

I was so awed by the incredible talent of the ICES members who demoed that day! I decided this was what I wanted to do. Since then, I have taken classes from Ruth Kirmser, JoAnne Misener, Tamara Lord and Jo Ellen Simon.

I am now the Texas State Representative for ICES, Member of Sugarwonder Cake Club and dabbling full time with my favorite passion--cakes!
