Oh, I love it! It is very professional and it has such a polished look to it!

I don't know who took photos of you creations, but I absolutely love the photos where just one cupcake is in focus. It is very cool!

BTW, would you be willing to share what fondant recipe you use, if it is not a secret? (Completely understand if you don't want to) I am not familar with one made with chocolate, sounds yummy!

Congrats on your new site!

Thank you for the compliments on my photography skills. Embarassed I am very much an amateur when it come to photography, but I do dabble. I can't share the recipe for the fondant since it is from Jennifer Dontz's DVD. I don't use her exact recipe, but it's close. I highly recommend her DVD's for the recipes and the fundamentals.

I do thank you for sharing your "source"! I will check her video out!

Thanks again, Sherri

Wow! What a great site. The cake pictures are wonderful. I only wish the slideshow would have slowed down so I could see the pics better. The chocolate cupcakes look so delicious!!!!

Bautiful site. Clean, elegant, and simple to navigate.

I especially like that your galleries play automatically. Often galleries are too much clicking back and forth. With yours I could sit and enjoy the beautiful - and VERY tasty looking - images.

Nice job.

Thanks so much everyone! Very Happy

I will slow down the slide show a little bit.

I am in the process of taking some more images to add into the homepage slide show and to replace a couple of the background images. Stylized images of ingredients and slices of assembled cakes.. things like that. I was going to wait to go live with the site until I did that, but I figured I could just add stuff in piecemeal. I don't think I'll ever bee 100% happy with anything.. LOL.. but hopefully it'll be at a point where I can be okay with it soon.

Also.. you can click on any of the thumbnails and it will stop the slideshow so you can look at any image you want for as long as you'd like. Smile

Jeanne I LOVE your new site! I don't like cake anymore but those cupcakes look fantastic!!!! The only thing I found was the beginning flash was a little fast for me, however I did see you had the individual views available. Kudos to you girl!!!! Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!
