Introduce Yourself

Elizabeth Miles Cake Design (Elizabeth Miles)

Hi Most people call me Lizzie but I used my full name for my home cake decorating business because I thought it sounded a bit more Posh! I started cake decorating because I had a small budget for my wedding so made my own cake, then my best mates wedding cake and so on. I am 38 and have been married for 10 years in August to hubby Lee (4 and a half years my junior) and have 2 beautiful daughters Matilda aka Tilly just turned 7 and Tabitha aka Tabby just turned 4, both sometimes called ‘Tibby’ after a late night cake decorating. As well as cake decorating I do a bit of face painting at parties and events and I also have a huge collection of fancy dress clothes mostly children’s which I also hire out. I also occasionally have a stall where I sell vintage retro items as I love to hunt for lovely things at car boots and in charity shops. I have a Fb page for this under ‘Lizzie Vintage’ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lizzie-Vintage/413726532053829?ref=hl but I don’t have a lot of time for it at the moment. My face painting page is ‘Lizzie Lizards Face Painting and costume hire for kids’ https://www.facebook.com/facepaintershaftesbury?ref=hl but don’t do this so much at the moment.
I also really love dancing but don’t often get a chance mostly at wedding discos these days, I used to do ballet tap and Jazz as a kid and taught Tap for a year when I was 18 called ‘Tapability’ ha ha and then went on to choreograph the local panto. I also have a guitar that I never really play but In my dreams I am as good as Jimi Hendrix. I never went to Uni or College I am completely self taught and guess I am a rubbish sort of entrepreneur really because I always seem to me skint. I love it here on cakes Decor everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I feel I have really found my place thanks everyone for the love. I will try and find a couple of family pics now if you are interested. xx 1. tabby age 1 and a half as Umpa Lumpa 2. Tilly age 5 as Princess Leia 3. our most recent family pic. 4. Me

Thanks Selma, I love that picture it always makes me laugh. Have you done an intro? I don’t have enough time to do it all so I usually finish my cakes at 2am. Hopefully when Tabby is at school in September I will have more time, do you have an intro on here ?xx

Not yet, I’m trying to figure out some very impressive story that will leave everyone breathless but I don’t think that will happen hahahaha ;) I think it will end up just like my intro on my page “stay at home mommy with cake decorating as a hobby” ;)

Hi Lizzie!
Wow, you are one busy lady! Your children are so adorable! Loved them dressed like Oompa Loompa and Princess Lea! I can’t imagine making my own wedding cake, let alone it being one of your first cakes! So nice to get to know a little more about you!
