In the beginning...

I've always had this facination with cake.  What's not to love?  It's sweet and delicious and the center of almost every celebration.  My Mother was an awesome baker.  She was known for all of  her cooking.  In grade school we used to sell her peanut brittle and fudge on the school bus, and every summer we got the community pool for free (as long as my mom would promise to bring her famous German Chocolate Cake!)  Mom's baking was always delicious.

I was always the one to try and make everything pretty and I always marveled at the bakery cakes with their sugar roses and shell borders.  But never really knew how to go about learning the skills to be able to create a beautiful cake.  In 2001, I saw a flyer for Wilton Cake Decorating classes.  There I met my first cake Mentor and Instructor Rhonda and I was hooked!  I took every class that was offered and still wanted to learn more.  Now I teach those same classes.  I like to share with my students and was asked by one of them to start this blog....Here you go Susan!! :)
