For the past three years I have been telling myself that I needed a hobby, something that I would enjoy doing that could take my mind off of work and school! I am a 5th year senior at Western Michigan University where I am majoring in Nutrition/Dietetics. I have a passion for cooking and baking, and love fashion! I also like to think that I am somewhat of a creative being!
Baking + Fashion = CAKE DECORATING! How did I not come up with this idea sooner?
To my own disbelief, it took me years to come up with, but I have finally found something that I am passionate and beyond excited to begin, and thought that I would write about my journey to becoming the most fabulous cake decorator around! (For real!)
My journey began about a year ago when I began watching endless hours of Cake Boss on TLC, followed by Top Chef just desserts, and many other shows on BRAVO! I realized my passion for the art, and bought my first book just this past Saturday October 30th, 2010 entitled "The Essential Cake Decorating Guide" published by Thunder Bay Press in 2001. I have looked through it extensively and am extremely excited to begin!
I also took a trip to Hobby Lobby today (November 2, 2010) and spent entirely way too much money on the beginning equipment!! (and some other things of course..ha ha)
I plan to make my first cake this Thursday! Stay tuned for pictures and the run down of my experiences to come!
With Love,
Tara
Side note: (Julie and Julie is one of the best movies ever made, and probably my biggest inspiration for beginning this blog!! )
