Happy New Year Bloggers,
As 2010 came to a close it gave me a chance to think about all that has occurred in my life. I started baking more and taking decorating classes to learn more about the joy of baking. I love to create things whether it be handstamped cards or homebaked cakes and cupcakes. It gives me joy to see the smile on people's faces when I present them with a homemade treat.
As you can see the picture above is not of a cake but myself. I celebrated my 40th in a grand style and loved every bit of it. The day was going fine until I came home from the hairdresser and found the cake I had made for the party had fell over. I was devasted and cried. I even called my mom and cried to her. She consoled me and told me that don't worry about the little things in life and just enjoy the moment. I took that advice, tried to fix the cake but enjoyed my evening at my party. Everyone didn't even notice the cake and loved it. I made a red velvet cake with Grand Marnier buttercream filling. It was quite tasty. I also made a sheet cake with a high heel on top made from gumpaste.
I know that 2011 will be a New Beginning for me and I pray that it will be the same for all of you. This year will not start with resolutions but instead plans. My plans will be my blueprints of what I will make of 2011 and all my dreams, hopes and desires. I hope you will enjoy this year to the fullest and pray all your dreams come true.
