It has been a bit since I've been on the blog. Since my last few updates, I've been busy. Wait and see some the most recent SophistiCakes! I've also recently accepted a position as a Wilton Method Instructor. So the pages turn as SophistiCakes grows. stay tuned!

Icing Smiles First Call To Action

SophistiCakes has officially accepted it's first call to action. A Cars themed birthday cake for a little boy that suffers from heart defects will arrive at the end of the month. I am so excited to give a Conner an icing smile!

Learning new things!

Well, this weekend was my first attempt at piping in melted chocolate! After three piping bags and a slightly burnt hand, I figured it out! But.... Probably should have used a bigger tip to write with because what I made was so thin they broke into a bunch of pieces. Oh yea, and melted chocolate works on it's own time schedule, sets quick and can't be rushed, better have more time and a lot more patience next time!

Icing Smiles

Just filled out my volunteer application for Icing Smiles. I can't wait to hear back! Icing Smiles connects with many volunteeers but it's main purpose is to delight these children that are suffering from illnesses with a great cake for a special ooccasion. I can't wait to make SophistiCakes a part of his amazing organization!

Fondant classes!

So, I've started taking a Fondant class taught by a well known cake decorator. Boy, have I learned some tricks... You know sometimes when you teach yourself to do something and you find yourself doing everything the hard way.... well now I am learning to do those things a lot easier! Can't wait to try all of my new skills!

Tis' the Season

Well, all the family birthdays are done for the year, at least the ones around here. I got a lot of practice and the opportunity to try out some new recipes and tricks that I haven't used yet. Some successess, some failures. Ah well, that's how you get better at this game. SophistiCakes is looking forward to the holidays and making yummy treats!
