Introduce Yourself

I saw the topic introduce yourself !

Hi my name is helen and I run a cake making business cupcake-heaven it’s relatively new , started making cupcakes i think ( time flies) in 2012 ! But only making and donating cupcakes to whoever would eat them lol, from there I started making them for family and friends.
Cupcake-heaven has grown from there really once I was happy with my cupcakes I went into making cakes this was so hard at first took sometime and I was so frustrated and now I think my cakes are getting really good I did have a cakey friend well that’s what I call her I think I might have drove her mad! with all the questions but she was very very helpfull it was Amanda from Clever little cupcake company thanks Amanda xx
Then the beginning of this year I’ve decided to make cakes full time.
I love creating cakes and I love seeing other people’s work too you guys on cakesdecor are so talented I get a lot of inspiration from you as I don’t think I’m very creative in thinking up ideas as sometimes it can be quite lonely when you a mostly self taught and work on your own, but I love it I really do

My challenge for this year is to make some wedding cake dummies and get myself in some wedding fairs eek!, ( I may need to post another topic for help with wedding fayres lol😀)
Thanks for listening oops I mean reading x
Kind regards Helen x😊

I’m just having a good look at you cakes😉 and I’ve checked your Facebook page out too, I love the eyeball OMG amaze balls! I’m going to have a go at a 3d pan to make a football cake eek how bad is it to cover ! Lol

Ah thanks! Not too bad actually, I always raise the cake to help get access underneath and don’t use a paste that’s too soft. If you’re doing a football cake it’s easy so long as you have the cutters. I just buttercream or ganache then pop them straight on.
