So....... are you ready for some CAKE DECORATING!!!!!!

Here are some recent cakes that I have done:

This is me with COLETTE PETERS!!!! MY CAKE HERO! She is on the Food Network Cake Challenges and she also judges the cakes, I was SOOO honored to meet her!!!

I was very proud of this cake.....it was a 24 hour notice cake!!! So I had literally a day to do it! She paid dearly for the short notice too!

ok..... I entered the cake show and came in second place to the baby in the photo below..... ok...... she did a great job carving but I have to say "I GOT ROBBED"!!!!!! anyone agree????? I learned something on this day..... NEVER assume anything... I just KNEW I was going to take home ANOTHER blue ribbon.... welp,,,,,, nope,,,,,,, its a red 2nd place one..... :-(

Ok.... NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER let a limo driver put a 4 tiered cake in the front seat and expect it to stay in place!!!! This one FELL OVER.... totally not my fault but I felt SUPER bad when the client told me what had happened.  I offered to give some money back, but she very nicely declined. I offered to deliver it to the ODU game but she was fine taking it, she had no clue the limo driver put it in the front seat!!!

Eyeball class I taught
