She wanted to make birthday cakes
for her new baby boy. I just went along to keep her company. Two or three
weeks into the class I started to “catch on” to the basic decorating
techniques, my friend wasn't as enthusiastic about her new skills. By the
end of the 11 week course, my friend was ready to hand over all of her equipment
to me…. Guess who made all of her son’s birthday cakes. My first
encounter with a wedding cake was for my cousin. I BEGGED her not to ask
me to make the cake. Her persistence finally wore me down and I consented.
In the weeks to come, I fretted over how to do this cake that would be so
important to my cousin. I lived through it. Whew. My
second wedding cake is really where it all started. It was for my niece.
It was a strawberry cake with ivory icing and lot’s of icing flowers.
Her caterer was so pleased with it, she asked if I would start doing her
wedding cakes. I accepted the challenge. Hundreds of cakes later, I am
still enjoying making cakes for all occasions. I hope you will let me
make one for you!
