Elf Cake

The Elf cake was taken from an awesome idea found on a fellow decorators website to be used as a 50th birthday cake. The Elves were a blast to make and actually quite simple! I will definitely be making this one again soon.

Snowmen Treats

These snowmen were put on some fun Christmas cookie plates however with its durable white chocolate shell, it is great for simple kitchen decorations (not to be eatten after display of course). Although they do take some time to assemble these adorable little snowmen are so much fun and a great way to get children in the kitchen during the holidays!

Getting Started

After watching women in my family cook and bake for 18 years, I decided to make a very simple pumpkin cake while at home from college one weekend. Despite my lack of experience and disinterest in cake baking and decorating, I found a new hobby that day in October. I didn't make my next cake for about 7 months. Just a few months and my first tier cake later I was hooked on cake decorating.

I have come to really enjoy decorating many different kinds of cakes from tiered cakes to character cakes to some difficult specialty cakes using buttercream icings. Finally I identified cake decorating as a passion of mine and signed up for two cake decorating classes through Wilton to refine my icing skills and learn specific techniques using fondant and gum paste.

I am truely excited to see what every new day and occassion brings to help me learn as much as possible. All cakes posted on this blog are cakes I have made. I appriciate any comments and tips you may have.
