We are currently setting up a small school of cake decorating and sugar artistry. Please feel free to send me an email with your questions and inquiries in reference to learning more about cake design, cupcakes and whimsical decorated cookies.

It is a great fortune to have an occupation that allows us to be happy, to help others, and to generate compassion and understanding in this world.

Compassion, loving-kindness, altruism, and a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood are the keys to human development, not only in the future but in the present as well. Dalai Lama

When you smile a smile of compassion, you are encouraging your loving-kindness to wake up. Youare encouraging yourself to be kind to yourself, because you are a thinking being.

I love playing with sugar. It's a great joy for me to emerge with a stunning sugar design to make the celebration a bit more special. A cake is NOT JUST A CAKE. It's a symbol of togetherness, friendship and compassion. A piece of cake is given to a friend or loved one as a symbol of friendship, caring, loving, companionship, love.
