Hello everyone! I'm new to this and kinda to the cake world. I've done my few simple sloppy cakes but nothing as awesome as some of the pictures I've looked at today. I am a 29 yo singe mom to a 15 month old little girl. I joined this site after a friend of mine told me about it. I want to be able to make my baby girl's b'day cakes so I am hoping to learn a lot here. I would love to take classes but the closest place I know of is about an hour away and well right now that's just not affordable in my budget. I look forward to learning from you all!!
