HA, Peggy! Everyone knows ‘Peggy’ is Peggy Does Cake and not Peggy Porschen. Anyone who’s anyone, at least. Peggy Porschen? Never ’eard of ’er.

I’m a big fan of yours, always checking out your page for new cakes, tips and recommendations for other talented cake artists. I was shocked to read you have only been doing this for a short while and you are self taught! You would never ever know, you really have an amazing talent. I too am self taught and started Dazzlelicious cakes on facebook last may by just posting a couple pics of cakes i had made for friends/family and it all went from there, i also didn’t know i could make these cakes but am loving it. Thanks for always sharing tips, tutorials etc – look forward to seeing more of your amazing work.

Wow Lesley! What else can I say that has not already been said….Your cakes are amazing!! I too am self taught and always searching the web for new or correct techniques on cake decorating. I have a full time job, so only being able to bake on the weekends makes it a challeng! So glad to hear you have tutorials on FB…that’s where I’m headed! So thank you for your inspiring words…I will continue my quest for improvement!

I just want to say that so far I haven’t met any of my favorite cake decorators in person. But ever since the first time I had the guts to ask Lesley for help to try and make a cake like hers, I feel like she was being a true genuine person and willing to take her time and reply detailed emails with all her tips. I have to admit she is my favorite <3 the most polite, helpful cake decorator. Thanks Lesley! Your awesome!

You never told me about this interview! I’m even more impressed. Dad. xxx

Yay, Lesley! Love your Dad’s comment too :) What a great interview.
