Welcome! | The Cake Girl

Hello!

I wanted to take a moment & welcome you all to my Blog!

I am very excited to be opening up a new chapter in my life.  I am currently a Photographer & own my very own photography business here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.  Over the years, I have taken an interest in cake decorating as well as photography.  Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved my sweets!!  I admit it, I have a sweet tooth...who doesn't?!

A little history--
            ...back when I was a little girl I loved two things; the Disney movie 'Pollyanna' & the pink cake box that was tied with a white string completed with a perfectly tied bow on top.  In that box was a scrumptious vanilla flavored cake that had pink & white buttercream roses & read, 'Happy Birthday Tammy' written in pink gel across the top of the cake.  I'm sure most of you know what I am talking about.  :-)  It was delivered to me on every Birthday from my parents as far back as I can remember {well, until they stopped using the pink cake boxes, that is, & went to plastic containers.... :-(  }.
I think that is where my early interest in cake decorating originally came about...
It wasn't until I worked at Walt Disney World at the renowned Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom that I really took an interest in more than just eating cake & tasting buttercream.  While working at the restaurant, I watched our Master Chefs create such delicious food & make magic out of cakes!  I, too, wanted to learn how, so I signed up for a class & since then have been putting together works of art in the form of Cakes for my family, friends & co-workers as a hobby.

With this Blog, my plan is to post my latest creations & cakes from cake shows I have entered, PLUS, I would like to add posts for fellow cake decorators, old & new, & share recipes, inspiration photos & 'how-to' tutorials on the things I am asked most frequently on how I have created.

I hope you all like what you see & follow my Blog....
