I AM A 28 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF AN 8-MONTH OLD SON. I AM FROM PHILADELPHIA WITH A PASSION FOR BAKING. I RECENTLY DECIDED TO COMBINE MY TWO PASSIONS, BAKING AND BEING CREATIVE, AND DECIDED TO TEACH MYSELF HOW TO DECORATE CAKES. I GREW UP IN A LARGE FAMILY OF 6, SO I CAN COOK ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, BUT I LOVE TO BAKE AND MAKE DIFFERENT DESSERTS. I LOVE TO TRY DIFFERENT RECIPES AND TRY NEW THINGS. THERE ARE NO PARTICULAR RECIPES WE LIKE TO COOK, BUT SINCE MY MOTHER'S 4 DAUGHTERS ARE ALL ADULTS NOW, ANY TIME THERE ARE A FEW OF US IN THE KITCHEN, IT'S A GOOD TIME. I ALONE CATERED A PARTY OF FIFTY WITH ONLY 4 DAYS NOTICE AND EVERYTHING WENT PERFECTLY. I WORKED FOREVER ON THIS CAKE FOR MY FRIENDS FATHERS 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. AFTER A FEW DRINKS I WAS BRINGING THE CAKE IN TO SING AND THE LIGHTS WERE LOW, SO I DIDN'T SEE THE STEP IN HIS DINING ROOM. YOU KNOW WHERE THIS STORY IS GOING... NEEDLESS TO SAY I TRIPPED AND EVERYONE WAS COVERED WITH CAKE, BUT AT LEAST EVERYONE GOT SOME CAKE.
