:: WELCOME ::

i felt compelled to create this blog with the thought of all those who have helped me as i continue my journey of cake decorating. if not for those creative minds who were brave enough to put themselves out there i would not have learned so many wonderful things or been as inspired as i am. i am just starting on my path to greatness! (ha ha!) i hope to document my progress through this blog. give out tips i have learned. make more connections with the decorating world. and perhaps someday give someone a little inspiration myself. so welcome and thank you for stopping by!

2010 - Elementary Birthday


I was asked by the schools to make a cake for one of the local elementary schools that was having its birthday - well actually the lady who the school was named after was having a birthday! I was so nervous to make this cake. Cakes for close friends and family is one thing, they have to tell you it is amazing and fabulous because they love you and don't want to hurt your feelings! Making a cake that will be seen by hundreds of people.....eek!




It did not turn out too bad! As many of you know, I am not a huge fan of traditional roses on cakes and avoid them whenever I can. I tried this fantasy flower instead and was quite happy with the results. I need to take a good loooong look at the natural way a vine grows so that is looks better on my cakes. The handwriting? Not too bad!!
