I have been working hard, learning new things, and conquering anxieties and fears.  I have done things I never thought I would do, and had people support and believe in me in ways I never thought they would.  Stay tuned.

A few things that I've been up to:

     - many, many cakes

     - more sugar art collaborations

     - first surprise visit from the Alberta Health Inspector (passed with flying colours)

     - vacation

     - being re-elected as the...

As often happens in my life, I think I know what I'm talking about, then I'm proven wrong. By me.  I did (and still do in some cases) think I was a genius for painting my own custom backdrops.  They were cost-effective and I could do whatever I wanted.  That is still t...

When people find out that I make cake, they inevitably say to my kids, "You must get cake all the time!"  This is the point when both children turn to me with anger and resentment in their eyes.  No they don't get cake.  Not often.  Only birthdays really.  Well tonight...

 Things have been very busy this year!  Besides trying to get a kitchen up and running, I've been working on some "portfolio" pieces and making a name for myself.  I've been networking a little bit, which is also very new for me, but I actually enjoy it, and basically...

I believe that the key to good cake marketing is a good photograph.  When you look at my portfolio page, I'm sure you'll think, "Really?"  As I've said before, this is just the start of my cake journey.  Taking photos of the cakes wasn't my priority before, but it is n...

This weekend, although not the first steps taken, has been the most signifigant of steps on my cake journey.  Although I submitted plans for my kitchen to Alberta Health Services more than a month and a half ago, and have not heard back, and created this website and a...
