A small yet deeply meaningful symbol in Bobbie June’s life was the simple strawberry—though it was never simple in her eyes.

Her talent earned her numerous blue-ribbon, first-place awards at the Los Angeles County Fair, where she proudly entered her cakes and desserts in competition. Bobbie June also taught cake decorating classes and also worked part time as a florist, joyfully sharing her creativity, patience, and artistic eye with others.
