I am a youtube-taught fondant cake enthusiast. I made my very first cake on jan 2008. I have been a career woman for over ten years-- and then after having our child, I stopped working and in the process of adjusting to home life, discovered this craft. I have not baked cakes before in my life, more so decorate them... so i had to ask my way through learning how to do it.
I feel the need to say that being a stay at home mom does not mean I have tons of time and one day just decided to make these cakes bec i had nothing to do. Moms, we know this-- we don't HAVE time... in as much as I do encourage others to try this, please do not look at it as a mere product of idleness... someone made that comment to me and I do take offense in it. There's much more to making these than a couple of hours free time.
Mimzywhimzy was the person who practically answered my questions day in and day out. And seriouscakes did a lot of help with my recipe questions and how to make icing etc... and Aine2 just --well, she made me dream .
YOu look at things so beautifully made and you wonder--can I do that too? These ladies will tell you-YES, and that is the same I answer I will give you. So what they taught me, I will pass on.
To those who HATE what I do--bec I don't charge people, bec I destroy their business (?) -- ugh, get a life. Unless it's something really worth paying for-- why not share how to do it? Aine2 has awesome tutorials that are worth hundred times more than what she asks for ... that is so much worth it. Same thing for Sharon Zambito..she's awesome... so unless it's in the same field... we are all in the learning stage...and we can legally learn and share for free.
IF you have seen these cakes and these tutorials and you suddenly start thinking --" maybe I can do that too" -- i want you to know , THAT IS WHY I DO THIS :)
