Karina always had a love for weddings, events and celebrating milestones & birthdays. While attending UB, she received her NYS Cosmetology license and pursued her passions in the wedding industry by working in salons around Williamsville and Buffalo. She then graduated the New York Makeup Academy and continued her passions by offering professional makeup services for many brides around the WNY area, and even travelled to Hawaii for her bridal makeup services.  During that time, she also acquired extensive bartending experience spanning from restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Karina is also a self-taught baker of all things cupcakes and is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about any project or venture she takes on.

Karina has a way of bringing people together and everyone leaving as friends by the end of any event. She wanted to continue in that path of celebrations and enjoying life to the fullest. With that, Bubbles & Bakes Buffalo came to fruition; modern rentals for any occasion.
