Introduce Yourself

I had better say hello! ;o)

Hi everyone here at Cakesdecor.com,
Firstly may I express my thanks to all who have been so positive and supportive of me in my new found endeavour of cake decorating since I joined in October! I had never considered cake design n creation as a creative outlet, it was unearthing my late mums old cake decoration books and some tools that sparked my interest this summer and something was niggling at me to have a go! So as a massive Dr Who fan I planned and started making my first ever cake creation the Dalek cake you see on here! To date you can see my total life’s cake output here… of two, but I think this is the start of a long friendship between me and cake design n decoration!

Without opening up too much, my health has lead me to ‘retire’ early with ongoing battles on a regular basis over the past 12 years, in fact surgery this week too (but I’m fine already!) I had been in an international career in IT, but since, I have enjoyed giving my time freely as an IT consultant to charities in the UK over the last 5 years during my ‘retirement’. However in July next year I plan to stand back from that and take a proper retirement, remembering that sometimes I have to put me first. Being a life long workaholic that’s not going to happen haha! But I think I have found something that I have a new passion for and that is this wonderful world of cake decorating! So here’s a toast to more cakes from me and the wealth of creative inspiration, joy and love that this great community brings!

Thanks for taking time out to read a little bit about me ;o)
