    Hey Les - welcome to Cakes You Bake & thanks for your comments! I have just returned from 4 days at the International Cake Show at the NEC where I gave a demo and worked as a judge for two of Knightsbridge-PME's competitions... there were some amazing cakes everywhere... if you did not go try to get there next year as it is a truly inspirational event. Check out my Facebook page (Gary Chapman Cakes) as I occasionally upload things there and you can find so many other wonderful people all over the world doing terrific things...

    Les, thank you for accepting my friend request and your kind comments on my work.  I have only been decorating cakes for about a year and a half.  I previously worked at a cookie store as a cookie decorator, which mostly entailed outlining and filling. I wanted to learn how to make roses so I took a Wilton class and that was it!  I was hooked.  Now I make cakes and hand decorated cookies from my home.  I wish I would have stumbled upon this earlier in my life, but I guess you're never too old to discover your passion.!

    Les, I have been enjoying the stroll through your slide show and your flowers and the arrangements of them are no less than breath taking. I love how you have incorporated in each arrangement your trademark little ladybug. What fun you must have creating each one of these masterpieces!

    Hi Les - I need you to re-upload your Autumn Cake contest cake since it already has 31 favorites from the last contest you entered it into.   Wouldn't be fair to stack the deck. ;)  Don't forget to add the tag.  I've removed the tag from the current photo.

    A man as good as his word!  Thanks so much Les.  I am indeed wanting this for Christmas cake as well as general 'consumption'.  My husband's favourite cakes are Victoria Sponge and Fruit cake.  I can do Victoria Sponge standing on my head with my eyes shut, but the perfect fruit cake still eludes me.  So I will do as you suggest and make it in the first week of October (I remember my Mum always made it around that time, sometimes earlier).  Thanks again and have a great weekend.  btw I notice I missed your birthday in August, so happy belated's.  A Leo eh - I'm sure the recipient of this wouldn't mind sharing with you -

    No worries Les. I know your very busy. Hairdressing & caking.... that  will tie you up!!! 

    Can you get a powdered lemonade mix of some sort??  If not Les, just use extra lemon juice and colour the batter pink. :o)
