Introduce Yourself

Krystle of Dessert by Design

Hi all! My name is Krystle and I’m a proud (stay at home) momma of four crazy kids!! Started baking along side my grandmothers when I was little – but didn’t start doing anything beyond “slapping some icing on” a cake until 2012 (after my epic fail of making my son a Thomas the Train cake for his 2nd birthday!) But – thanks to the wonderful world of cakers who share tutorials on pretty much EVERYTHING – and my pure stubborn, I mean dedication to do better, I learned all about fondant (which I had no previous experience) and started practicing every chance I got! As I plan my youngest 1st birthday this month, I have a little bit of mom-guilt over what my three older got for their first birthdays, but I think I make up for that a little bit with each birthday :) I especially love working on 3D cakes – something about starting with a large sheet of cake that you trim, carve and build up into something totally new that really makes me happy

Looking forward to meeting you all!!
xoxo Krystle

Hi Krystle, I’m Galyna, nice to meet you :)

Great story – love the “slapping some icing on” :-) You should be guilt-free, the older kids are getting great cakes every year now, I’m sure they’re loving it!
