Hi I'm Sarah but my friends call me Sassy. I love to bake and to decorate cakes. My cakes are nowhere near a professional level yet, although i hope one day that they will be. I would love to make and decorate cakes for a living in the future. At the moment i am a self-taught amateur cake decorator. I have recently earlier this year joined a college course for sugar craft and cake decorating, i absolutely love going but i do sometimes wish it was more often than 2 hours per week. I am going to look into maybe doing a more full time and/or city and guilds course for sugar craft and cake decorating in the new year.
I guess the first time i ever took an interest in cakes was a couple of years ago when i was due to be married and i was looking for my wedding cake. I found a cake decorator in my area who i liked the sound of and she made an appointment to come to the house for a cake tasting (yum). Anyway she arrived, the cake tasted beautiful and it was then that we needed to decide on how we wanted the cake to look. She took out a massive album and when she opened it to display loads of different cakes she had made, all i could think of was wow!!!! i want to do this. That was the first time cake decorating ever crossed my mind and i have never looked back since. For the last year or so i have been making cakes for family and friends which i love doing. Yes sometimes it gets stressful and sometimes things don't always go to plan but the end result and the smiling face of the person receiving the cake far outweighs the traumas i have endured to get to the finish line.
