Hello to you and yours. Testing out this blogging bit. This has been in the background of my mind for years and finally getting around to creating one. This blog will be centered around my caking adventures and opportunities, some recipes and tips I've learned over the years and also my love for classic and current hiphop. (read: no Little Wayne or anything on the radio today). There may be a bit of my random ramblings sprinkled in here and there as well.
I have been dabbling in cake decorating since 2002 when I took my first Wilton class with a friend. At the time I was trying to do more for myself and rediscover what I loved and wanted to do. I took the class and was instantly hooked. I had always loved to bake and this encouraged me to really perfect my baking. A pretty looking cake is lost if it doesn't taste good. I took a couple of more classes but then realized I wasn't too keen on the Wilton methods (or style) and started learning other techniques by joining online cake art communities, watching videos and buying books. I would still love to take some classes with a few of the "greats" - especially the local one, Nicholas Lodge. But for now, I will continue to perfect when I have the opportunity and start steering this ship in the direction I want it to go. My own "style" tends to be less traditional, more artsy...clean lines...bold but not overly mod with understated elegance.
I've done a few weddings over the years and everything in between. Today, cupcakes are still all the rage, so I will flow with it for now. I love being able to do more when it comes to flavor combos with cupcakes. So, right now, cupcakes rule everything around me.
Dolla dolla bill y'all.
