Baking has always been my passion. My life has its limits and baking sets me free.

Wow it has been forever since I was on here. I have been very busy and I know that is no excuse.  I don't have all the pictures on my computer yet on what I have been baking since my last post but I will talk about what I have done and put pictures up later.  :)  The pictures I have now are of a birthday cake that I made for my roommate Kristen.  I told my roommates if they wanted a birthday cake to tell me what they wanted and I would make it. The cake was a simple yellow cake that was made to look like a rainbow.  On top I made a design that she found online and added some flowers.   This was the first time that I did icing flowers.  When doing the Wilton classes icing flowers are first before the fondant flowers but I like to be different. I learned how to make fondant flowers before icing flowers.  I am very good at looking at a picture or a series of pictures and learning how to do something, also trial and error works ;).  
While at college I made a cupcake with marshmellow topping so it looked like a poinsettia flower for Christmas.  Everyone loved them at the party.  I made lots of the cookies that I made last year no new ones.  This summer though I have a punch of ideas and hopefully enough time to at least try half of them.  A lot of the ideas I found on pinterest which my friend Kristen got me hooked on.  Hopefully later this week I will post some more pictures of what I have done and what I will be doing.  :)
