General Info:

Kathy Wise Gentry is the founder of Sweet Wise. Kathy started in the kitchen early on, making her first cake at age six. Her mother was a Wilton instructor, and Kathy quickly got her hand into the cake batter herself. She continued to make cakes for fun as she grew up, and sold her first cake to a neighbor when she was 16. After graduating from high school, Kathy went to Danville, KY to study Economics at Centre College. No matter where she was, Kathy always found a place to bake so she could relieve herself from the stress of late night studying. After graduating from Centre, Kathy couldn't let go of the kitchen. She decided to enroll in the Opryland Culinary Institute, which helped her to plant her roots in Nashville. After 3 years of culinary school, she cheffed around town in catering businesses, hotels, and restaurants, but always made time for making cakes. In 2001, Sweet Wise was born. It was intended to be simply a wedding cake bakery, but in 2006, after Kathy had finished over 250 wedding cakes, the opportunity came for Kathy to expand into providing supplies for other bakers. Taking again from her mother's background, Kathy decided to move forward with her passion for teaching. After 34 years of making cakes, Kathy found the perfect forum in which to combine the worlds of baking, teaching, and supplying fun tools and ended up finding herself a playground that many little girls only dream of.
