Let me start by telling you a little more about me. Of course I love to bake.. but, there IS an actual story as to why and how I decided to take this on in such a huge way.
PLUS.. I'm going to let you know about the amazing bloggers I talked about yesterday.. I couldn't wait to tell you guys (I know 24 hours is SUCH a long time.. I'm impatient :))
Besides always having a personalized cake for every birthday (and loving it) I usually only baked for my friends and family. When I was pregnant with my boys I wanted to make sure they would always have a personalized, homemade cake for their birthday. We got a surprise at 24 weeks and our boys were born 16 weeks early.
While they were in the hospital I used baking as a way to relax. A year later their first birthday came and I went crazy with the sesame street theme. That was it.. I had a little taste of the things I could possibly do and I wanted to push myself to learn and do even more.. this is where the fun began. I looked into bloggers, you tube tutorials and any book I could get my hands onto. Once their second birthday rolled around I tested out my new hobby with a Yo Gabba Gabba cake... it was a huge success. After all the "you should DO this" comments I received, I decided why not!
Now that you know a little more about me lets move onto the fun part!! I wake up every morning and check my email to see if any of these ladies have posted something new. They give so many great tips, advice and tutorials it's amazing.
There are so many people out there that are very protective of their recipes and techniques. This is why I love these ladies so much. They aren't afraid to share what they know. So taking a cue from them.. I am going to share their pages with you. Check out their amazing recipes, tutorials and posts.. if you're like me by the time you are done you'll be checking your email just waiting for their next post :)
Let's begin:
www.karenscookies.net (you can shop too!!)
www.flourboxbakery.com (Anne is AH-mazing!)
Ok so those are some of the greats in my opinion. I know there are more and if you know someone that I haven't listed and you think deserves to be mentioned PLEASE.. share!! There is nothing I like more than to find someone new to be amazed by :).
So be sure to check them out and show them some love. They completely deserve it. Hopefully you'll get inspired as much as I do when I look at their work.
