Hi all my name is Diane. I live on Vancouver Island and am very new to cake decorating. My daughter got engaged in February2012 and I had the brilliant idea, I wanted to make her cake. I began by reading and watching everything about cake making on the Internet. Finally my husband suggested I take a course. So I took the first 3 wilton courses. I have been thoroughly enjoying my new hobby. The part I dislike the most is baking the cakes, this I am certainly not an expert at, but keep practicing. I look forward to learning new techniques and tips from forums on here.

Hi Mary, I'm Sylvia, I joined this september. I also had only worked with buttercream until recently, I took the plunge with fondant and I love it. I was so afraid to work with it, but it's getting easier for me now. Give it a try, we only learn by our mistakes!!! Welcome to Cakes we bake!
Mary Ponds said:Hi I am 54 years old. I live in Charleston SC. I enjoy doing cakes as a hobby just for family and close friends and especially the children. I have not taken cake decorating classes. After looking on You tube I got hooked on cakes so I just researched and looked at a lot of videos. I have never attempted to do royal icing or fondant. I have only stuck with butter cream. One day I may get brave enough to try some other things.
I just wanted to thank all of you for all the information that I am reading and learning on this forum. Much to read and much to learn!!! I have really enjoyed looking at the cake pictures also. I can see there are many talented and artistic people here. I am glad that I found this forum!!!!

Welcome fellow Canadian Dianne
You will learn much from this site. I made my daughter's wedding cake. I wish I has known this site was here when I did. Although all things considered, it came out alright. Is there a Wedding date yet?? You have time to practice. :0)

Thanks June, and yes the date is May 25th 2013. I'm most freaked about having the timing down for making it. Since I'm the mother of the bride I will be doing much more than the cake. I really enjoy making gumpaste flowers. I just made my first bouquet topper, it turned out well but I think the gage of my wire is too thin, some of the leaves and flowers fell off. thank goodness I have some time left to practice. I look forward to learning more tips and techniques.

May/2013...... Lots of time to practice Diane. I was working full time when I made my daughter's cake. Even tho I booked off my 2 wks vacation before & after the wedding, I still baked & froze her cakes a month in advance. A real time saver. Lucky for me my daughter wanted 'simple" as cakes go. She also didn't want gumpaste/b/c flowers, but real, so that was also easier. Her pics were taken locally, so we were able to scoot home before the reception, and I went about 45 min before to set up the cake. I also made 3 large slab cakes to be served as dessert, but took those in the day before. Very exciting for you!! :o)
