The beginning of "The Color of Cake"

So I started this blog to write about and advertise my cake decorating "business". Over the summer, I decided to take a cake decorating class thru Michaels Craft store. It started out as just something fun, and to meet new people. I really enjoyed the 1st course. It was 4 weeks long, 4-2 hr classes. I learned the "Wilton Method" of cake decorating. Learned to do basic flowers, trims, roses!, fun stuff.

Once I started bringing my practice cakes to work, I all of a sudden started getting cake orders from co-workers! Without my knowing it, I inadvertantly started a cake business. I have one particular co-worker (client) that has ordered 5 cakes already! He's my best customer. I get new customers weekly. I'm slowly expanding my cake flavor choices. I started with regular box cake mixes- chocolate, yellow, lemon and even spice cake and half chocolate/half yellow cakes, graduating to Red Velvet, and even Carrot cake! Now all from scratch. I also make all my own frosting. I specialize in Buttercream, but also do Royal Icing, and Cream Cheese frosting too. So sticky sweet! Eventually I'll add fondant to my frosting/covering list.
