Some of her Cakes...

"The only birthday cake I can remember from my childhood is one my Mom bought from a private cake decorator. I can't even remember how old I was but I remember the cake vividly! When I had my son just over three years ago, I decided that all of his cakes should be that special and I've been into cake decorating ever since.

I'm completely self taught and rarely get to practice my decorating skills but I use a lot of my experience in art and design to pull the cakes together. I love to use the child's birthday theme or favorite characters on the cake to make it more special for them.

Because of my enjoyment of cake decorating, I am the moderator The Cakes List, which is an e/mail list for cake decorators. There are over 400 members, some are professional decorators while others are home decorators. We discuss everything from decorating cakes to selling them.
