Welcome to my cake blog! Making cakes for me is a real treat! It's a spectacular feeling to know that God gave me the talent to bake and decorate. As I venture into 10 year of making cakes, my dream of opening a bakery is becoming reality. In the next few weeks I will be opening The Sweet Sister Bakery in London, Ky. I will keep you posted on it! Can't wait!

Summer Fun!!!
A few cakes I have worked on this summer!! Not a lot to brag about, but I sure have enjoyed making them and enjoyed watching the smile on everyone's face when they see them!!!
In 2002 I began my first venture into making cakes. It all began as a spur of the moment deal when the lady who was to be making my sisters wedding cake had cancelled due to unforseen cicrumstances. At that point I had only done a few character cakes and decorated very little, just through family and for fun.
So my mother called me and said this, "Holly, I have a favor to ask of you." "Yes Mother," I excitedly replied. "I need you to think about making Heathers wedding cake!"
In my mind I was thinking, "Woman, are you outta your mind? I have no clue how to even start doing something that big and elaborate."
This cake Heather had chosen was 7 layers, very intricate and detailed.
A day or two later, I had made my decision. I called mother and told her to that I would make Heathers cake and I hope that it didn't turn out to be a complete disaster. And for her to have a back-up plan just in case.
A month later, On Saturday May 25th, 2002, I proudly showcased my first ever wedding cake to around 150 eager family and friends. Even i was in awe at my talent and spectacular outcome of this fabulous cake.
From that day forward, I began my small career of baking and decorating cakes that takes me into my own little world and allows me to showcase my talent and creativity that I have had boxed up in me for so many years.
So for the young at heart and for those who enjoy complete and udder talent and spectacular cake, enjoy my blogging site.
