Long Time No Post!

Ok so, its been ages since Ive been to this page but I have been busy. I have been making cakes and have sold a good number of them. With each cake that I make things go smoother and look much..much...much better *LOL* I made a few cakes and completely forgot to take pictures just because I was so wrapped up in what I was doing I simply forgot. A few cakes I have made in the past few weeks have ranged from Mickey Mouse, to a few bachelorette cakes (need I say more) *LOL*. I have most recently made a Race Track cake for a little boys birthday and also a halloween cake. We deliver the Halloween one tomorrow so Im excited about it. I will post pics post delivery. Anyway I have a TON of cleaning up to do so I promise I wont take this long to come back and update both my pictures or my journey into cake making/decorating. Have a Good Day!

Practice makes perfect...or does it?

Well its Sunday today and I just finished a practice cake. I personally think it looks pretty good *if I do say so myself* I also made up a webpage on Facebook where people can link to this page as well. I think thats how it works *L* I thought I was really good with the internet and computers but alas I am website illiterate. I had so much help getting this thing started and I dont think its going to end there.
I also wanted to metion that I finally got my business cards!!! I even got a few pens with my business info on it. I am very excited about all of this that is happening. I am even more excited that I am the one making it happen. I dont think I have ever been more motivated about something before in my life.  Im going to post a few pics of stuff I have done this past week so stay tuned to see more!!!

So much FUN!

Ok so I have been pretty busy this past week. I learned how to make homemade fondant and some gumpaste flowers. I am having so much fun with this and I find it so relaxing. I am going to be posting some more pics here pretty quick cause Ive made a few cakes and with these new techniques that I have been working on I would like to see what everyone thinks. I had my first cake order this past week. It was a basic birthday cake nothing too fancy but when the girl picked it up she was overjoyed at how pretty it looked. She said that she was sad that they were going to have to cut into it *L* I have to say I was pretty happy. Im hoping to make a few cakes in the next couple of days to just drop off at a few places in town for samples and to also leave a portfolio booklet. Im hoping that this and word of mouth will bring in some business. **Fingers crossed ;-)**

Portfolio???

Ok so its been a few days since Ive been here and I would like to start off by saying Thank You to those of you who posted comments on my page. I appreciate them all.
My task for the next week and a bit is to make as many cakes as I can and make a portfolio. I am not sure what I am going to do with all of the cakes that I will be making but none the less it should be fun!
I have ordered some new supplies and cant wait to start using them and experimenting with new techniques and making my own techniques.
I will post pictures here after I make each cake so you can all follow my progress be it positive or negative. I am off to bed now cause its an early morning start with a toddler and some cake pans ;-)

Excited, Proud and Scared...Really Scared!

Ok so here it goes...Day one


I have put in a lot of hard work so far and I am really excited about it. First things first... I have to say that I have had a wonderful friend helping me along the way and I would like to thank her for everything. Beth you are near and dear to my heart and I thank you so very much. I am learning a lot from her because she has a wonderful and successful business you should really check it out.

 After you check out mine of course ;-). 


So this past week was very exciting for me, I got a lot of feedback from friends and family on my work and creations.  Mostly positive and some constructive criticisms but I appreciate it all. I truly feel that in order to succeed you need constructive criticisms to help you grow.  I registered my business name so needless to say I am pretty proud of that. Its a step that makes me feel really good about taking my life in my own hands and choosing to turn some negative things into positive ones.


This upcoming week I am going to be doing some research for my business as well as working on the little details that I would have never thought of had my husband mentioned it to me so thank you dear.


Ok well that's it for today check back in soon. Ill be updating this regularly with new work, more pictures, some new recipes and creative ideas.

Welcome!

My name is Melissa and there are two things in life that I am very passionate about:  my family and my business. I chose the name Sweet Pea Cakes N Treats because from the moment we found out we were pregnant out family gave the baby the nicknames "Sweet Pea" This is very special to us because getting to this point in our lives has taken a lot of work and dedication.

I started off with a wonderful tasting cake for my daughter's 1st birthday, it was egg-free, chocolate, etc. I then also made a Winnie The Pooh cake...It didnt turn out very well at all....that was my first attempt at cake baking and decorating. My love of the art has pushed me to continue to improve on decorating!

For the Fish, Cupcake cake and the cup cakes, the cakes/cupcakes are homemade as well as the icing again: buttercream!!! I made these cakes etc & decorated them during my cake decorating class that I took to enhance my decorating skills and to pursue my dream of being in charge of my own destiny!!!

As for the Thomas Cake..this was  for her 3rd birthday. I did give a cake pan a try for the mold but I did make the homemade icing and tint the colours according to the desired colours. Again it was a homemade chocolate cake recipe.

For my daughter's 2nd Birthday, I made this Mickey Mouse cake. The cake was made free hand, was chocolate (homemade recipe) and the icing was buttercream and tinted for each appropriate colour.
