re: What prompted you to take up cake decorating/baking as a hobby/business?

I always loved baking and decorating when I was younger but I had only ever seen grocery store cakes before. I had NO idea what could be done with cakes! I started watching shows like cake boss and ace of cakes and I just knew that I wanted to try and makes cakes like that. So with the money from my 19th birthday I went out and I bought a wilton class kit and some other items and started to teach myself. Having never took a class it has been quite the adventure but I am so love I don’t think I will ever look back!
