The Dinosaur...

After the Spongebob cake was so well received, I tried my luck with a dinosaur for Mr C's 8th birthday.  He has been obsessed with dinosaurs since he was born, so it was guaranteed that he would like it. 

While it is still a store bought sponge covered in tinted Betty Crocker icing, I advanced myself a little bit more and carved it into the shape of a dinosaur.

Once again, not perfect but Mr C and his little friends liked it... and that's my target audience. So I'm happy! :)

The Beginning... Spongebob Squarepants



This is the start of it all.  A sponge cake, decorated with tinted Betty Crocker icing

I still maintain that this isn't too bad for a first effort! And my son Mr J was more than impressed with it... and that really is all that mattered.

Once the Cake Decorating bug bites though, you keep looking for bigger and better.  Let's hope I get there!

Welcome To Cake My Breath Away!

Welcome to my passion... decorating cakes.  I may not be the best at it, but all my cakes are made with love.

I started decorating just over a year ago, when my son asked me to decorate a Spongebob Squarepants cake.  Looking back at it now, I can see it's imperfections but my son was so proud of it (and me!) that it spurred me to continue.  Since then, I have completed the Wiltons Cake Decorating classes and made cakes for family and friends.

With the encouragement of my family and friends, I have now started my own at home Cake Decorating Business... "Cake My Breath Away". 

I hope you enjoy looking at my cakes, almost as much as I enjoy making them!!
