All About My cakes and Treats

I am a stay-at-home mom who NEEDS a creative outlet! I love to watch Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes. In May of 2009, I decided to see if I could do what they do, and I was immediately hooked on the amount of design and detail that go into it!! After making many practice cakes for friends and family, I started getting orders for birthdays and events. My hobby turned into a "work-from-home" business and here I am! I learn something new with every cake and I am still loving every minute of it!

Enough of the snow already!!

February has brought one snowstorm after another!  Not only have we been slammed with snow here in Ohio, but I have been very busy with cake orders!  That's a good thing...well, not the snow!  Just when I think that I have tried everything, I get an order that really challenges me.  This is why I love making these cakes! 
The first new challenge was in sculpting a person for my husband's 40th. birthday cake.  I was very pleased with how, "gumpaste Brent", as my daughter called it, turned out.  I also had to spend a great deal of time on the cards, drawing in the details with edible markers, so that they actually looked like real playing cards! 
The next challenge was a Hydrangea cake.  This was my very first attempt at doing gumpaste and fondant flowers, very time consuming but they tuned out wonderful!! 
I am starting to book larger events now, which is exciting! I am also booking Graduation cakes for this coming June, so I am anticipating the end of May/beginning of June being absolutely insane!  Loving every minute of it, though!
