Okay...so I finally got around to looking at your cake blog and I'm totally in LOVE! Your cakes are absolutely amazing. Where do you find the time to do this stuff? Your talents are simply astounding. Thanks for sharing the beauty of all your creations. I look forward to seeing more! Makes me wish like getting married all over again to my husband just so I can request one of your cakes!!! :) Love, Becky

oh thanks i had kind parents who let me make cakes as a child- when i got married i decided to do my own and well doing them here and there ever since. I will usually only do 1 wedding a year for close friends-- too crazy with 3 kids I tell my husband it is a shame i like being married to him because i'd love to get married again(and i could so stand new dish towels, a new blender, etc)
