Nerrica Devine
A Devine Companion Inc, President/CEO
have been a Certified Nursing Assistant since 2001. I have worked in various settings such as nursing homes, assisted living, hospitals, and in home. My favorite is in home care. I have watched clients appear 100% more happy and comfortable in their own homes versus a facility, no matter how nice. Most of our clients have lived in their homes for years, why move them out if it is not needed? I decided that I had worked for other companies long enough, and I needed to start my own agency to make sure that I am able to help as many people as possible. I want family members to not worry, to sleep well knowing that their loved one is in good hands when they are out and about. I want my clients to know that age does not take away their voice and that is why we will always know that we are guests in their home while assisting them.

Hello,
My name is Alicia Garland, and I am the founder and owner Cakes Beyond The Realm. I have baked and decorated cakes for over 30 years; and almost 6 years ago, I transitioned into making solely "faux" cakes. Faux cakes offered me and opportunity to create luxurious works of art at a fraction of the cost of traditionally baked cakes, along with the capability to adorn them with materials (crystals, pearls, feathers, metals, etc.) not allowed on food products. My cakes are beautiful keepsakes that last for years, and they transition from event to the home (ex. baby shower to baby nursery decor).
Cakes Beyond The Realm's Mission is to produce your dream cake - "You Dream, We Deliver"
