Mix Bake Eat is the result of many years of creating fun, custom cakes and other treats. Initially just wanting to make my kids birthday cakes more fun, I started 'playing' around with different recipes and decorations. Working creatively with icing and sometimes shoe string licorice and other add-ons, I was able to start developing some skills and created some very entertaining cakes. (A Sega video game cake which was iced in black still gets talked about today more than 20 years later -- black icing's effects are quite amusing to little boys!)

Eventually I discovered the magic of fondant and what can be done with it and the complexity and popularity of my cakes grew. Over the years, I have learned a lot of different tips and tricks -- some the hard way, but mostly by just being creative and maybe a little crazy with problem solving.
