Let there be cake

As a little girl I would concoct food creations and basically force my family to eat them. This consisted of just throwing things together (like broccoli and banana) or attempting to make homemade grape juice by peeling and crushing grapes. (I did that with about 5 grapes and then moved on). I by no means came by baking or cooking naturally, but always had a fascination for throwing random ingredients together, so I have been following that fascination and found that I LOVE to bake and create :) Whether it be cakes, a dessert table or appetizers, I love putting a smile on someones face when they first see or smell the tasty treats...and then all the hard work is devoured in 30 seconds. Totally worth it :p

Here is my latest cake for a friends mom who graduated an accounting program. I initially had issues with how much of it was not handmade, but I think it turned out cute and with time constraints it worked out well. 

Here is an example of cupcakes and a cake I did for our nephew...so much fun!
I have done quite a few now with disasters happening less frequently but each time I learn something new for next time! Here are a few others...next I will post how it started ;)
