Yea! I see you signed up! Now you need to start posting some of your gorgeous creations! Once you get the hang of navigating around this site, you will love how warm and friendly everyone is!

Yay!!!! The worst part about signing up for something new…. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS!!! LOL
I posted a cake 2-3 hours ago, but they must be still assessing my pic…
It’s taken me a couple of hours to figure out, I can add things to a “favourites” list…
Thank you, Toni, for your encouragement, support & help. XXX

That’s strange, I don’t remember how it was when I first signed up, but it shouldn’t take long for your picture to show up. When I post one, it shows up instantly. Maybe try re-posting it, or post another one. It will take a little while, but you will get the hang of it here. You will find a lot of people you follow on Facebook on here. When you follow someone on here, you will get an email notice when they add a new cake. I’m off to bed, hope to see some of your lovely cakes on here in the morning!

Thanks for your lovely comment , hope to see more of your cakes in the future x Lisa x

Thank you so much for the help with the choc mousse cake, it’s a winner – will let you know how it turned out 18th Jan wedding.

Awww Bev, your so sweet.
Look… I am pretty much an open book… a lot of stuff is self-taught due to my commercial decorating background. I was regularly “thrown in the deep end” with an order… with no time for research or lessons.
“Back in the day”, there was no internet, so you just had to figure stuff out yourself.
I did a tech college course back in 1980 (yeah…. I know, that makes me “mature age”, hell… OLD!!! LOL).
No cutters, texture mats, airbrush… or any other really cool stuff, available now!
I don’t come from an affluent background, and I have health and other issues that seriously restrict my budget… so I am a self-confessed “Queen of Cheap”!
Anything you want help on, JUST ASK… I’ll help if I can. Just be warned… it might not be the technically correct way of experts. I can only share, what I know.

i like your list of ethics im self taught and just winging it most of the time, but try and help and support other’s as much as possible!

Dear Julez,

I love your write up above. Thanks for following a complete novice. You are really sweet!

You’re welcome Radhika… I’ll follow anyone with great cake!
You young’ins are up with the latest trends!

Hi Julez, I wanted to pop on to say I respect your decision re Facebook. It really is a strange beast and one that’s becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. You are an amazing cake artist and and an inspiration to many.

As a small business you’ve helped me consolidate my thinking. I have only once done a tagging session and have been wondering whether I should do more to try and increase my followers. You’ve made me decide to stick with my gut instinct, it isn’t what matters. I will stay focused on keeping my customers happy and developing my skills.

Thanks Julez and all the very best to you xx

thank goodness you’re still here!! I am tempted to delete my fb page too. It used to be a great community sharing and caring facility but those days are gone! Ditto Mellie… stick with cake love! It’s what matters. xx

Thank you, so very much Mellie and Fiona!!!
I will be here!!!… not so many cakes this year. Last year was a lot of experimentation, including a lot of “foam blanks” as well, as i tried to get an idea of whether there would be enough local interest to start a business.
Due to a lot of factors, I decided not to go that way… just stick to doing what I want!
This year will be just cake, celebrating special days in my life.
I would like to do something to celebrate “Australia Day” which is 26 Jan! Haven’t been over here much in the past couple of days… had a lot on my mind, as you both understand.
Now feeling calmer than I have, in a long time. No frustration. No Regrets.
Strangely enough when I announced that I was closing my page, and would be back to do some final shares of my biggest supporters, it created some interest! After the first few, Marta posted on my wall, that her page had “just lit up like a Christmas tree” with all my stuff. My husband found the same thing on his personal page. Apparently I crossed some line, and the facebook boffins unfroze my page. I did about 2 dozen shares, then went to check my feed for one last time. I think I could see the feed of EVERY single page that I liked! It took about 4hrs to work through it. But I thanked every single one of the pages, that I could see, that had supported me. Comments flooded into my homepage like a farewell party! Unfortunately, due to differing time-zones, the U.S. followers probably missed the celebration!!!
Will probably post a couple more of my faves from last year. Will re-brand to Allwaysjulez for 2014 cakes.
Love that you popped over to leave me a message!
Julez XXX <3

Making changes can be stressful but also empowering. I can imagine it’s been a very emotional few days xx

Will look forward to your Australia Day cake!

Your cakes show class and an artists eye!!! each one so perfect. well done and sorry to see you do not have a page… would love to showcase your work and maybe in the future you will put up another page :) I see you were also in the commercial sector. that is where I started too… funny how its led to cakes. :)
