Hello and Welcome!

Hi :) Welcome, and thanks for visiting! This whole thing been a long time coming- I have wanted to do this but was always too scared to really jump in.  I mean seriously... you see all the blogs out there that are just absolutely incredible... and think "I could never do that"!!! But I will try :) To be honest, my number one reason for this was seeing a friend's blog and using her tip of using a blog as a way to easily search recipes that I lose. (I hope I am not the only one who writes down a recipe that looks AMAZING... then loses it... am I?) But I thought it was also a way to share my love of all things sweet. Who knows, it may even get me going on kickstarting this business that has been my dream for so many years... But if it is just me logging on to find a recipe I lost, then it's worth it anyway ;)

A little about me... I began making candy probably around 23 years ago for Christmas for my family to give to our neighbors.  That started a uh... well let's be honest.. obsession with trying out new fun recipes to add to my tried and true loves.  Fast forward to about 6 years ago when I first started making homemade marshmallows (yes, you can make them- and they are much better than storebought... TRUST ME!) and I just couldn't help myself... I was hooked!

I have also been decorating cakes off and on for a better part of about 13 years now and I absolutely love it.  I mean loooooove it. I am nowhere near the caliber of all those greats out there- but I love watching people create amazing works of art with cake and learning their techniques. I am constantly looking for new ways to create fun cakes that you don't see in your grocery store bakery, and I love to make a cake that means something special or is something personal about each recipient, but the best part is always the looks on the recipient's face when they see the cake.  I love creating things to make people smile, and I hope that you enjoy seeing some of my creations and using some of my recipes to make your friends and family happy :) Because that's what it's all about... making people happy!!!

I do have to apologize in advance, especially since I know so many absolutely amazing photographers... my photos, especially those from years ago, definitely leave much to be desired... so there... I said it... I really am  sorry. Truly. (I will also apologize for my obsession with smiley faces... and the dot dot dot... even parentheses ... see? I need help.)

So since it is so late (or should I say early), I guess it really does fit... but I will sign off for now... Sweet Dreamz to you all- and to all a most fantabulous night!!

Please feel free to let me know what you think!!!
