It's a new day!

Wow, I had two coffees this a.m. and now I'm perky. Thanks K-cups! I wish I had something profound to say on my first ever blog post but...eh..I'll save that for later.

Welcome to Cake Star! I'm so happy to have this forum to discuss my cakes, my biz and my passions. It won't be just about cake but cake is definitely the conversation starter here. So here's the BIG NEWS.......................................................................I'm going to meet my all-time fave and respected cake artist. Yes, Ron Ben-Israel will be in Toronto and I unexpectedly got the opportunity and all doors opened up for me to attend his class at Flour Confections. I am so blessed and very grateful to my family especially my husband and my parents-in-law and my parents for stepping in to fill my shoes while I'm gone for a few days. **It takes 5 people to do what I do??? Yup, it does :)

When I get back I'll post pics of The Maestro and the sugar flowers I am going to learn to make in his class. My favorites are the rose and the peony so watch out for those photos! Hopefully I can get a pic with Mr. Ben-Israel himself!

I have to say I'm a cake celebrity groupie. I love to meet the people in the cake industry who have been recognized for their extraordinary talent and I hope to learn some skills and hone the skills I have. So as I learn from them I will post it for you and I'll share some tidbits too.

I love the design of my blog and my website at http://www.cake-star.com/. I want to thank Jessica at Sweetest Cupcake Graphic & Web Design for both sites. Check out her link - you'll love her work! I've had tons of compliments on my logo and I smile every time I see it. www.sweetestcupcake.com
