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 ;-)**
