Hi!

My name is Sadie. I was just directed to this site by someone at another forum where I was showing off my girls birthday cakes icon_biggrin.gif I'm really wanting to do more and more, especially now that I've discovered fondant. I don't know all the tips and tricks yet, but I'm a quick learner icon_biggrin.gif

I never knew I wanted to do something like this, and my hubby blames it on watching too much FoodNetwork, but I had to this year...I have two little ones that are 1 year and 2 days apart in age and just turned 1 & 2. I've always done character-pan cakes for bdays (I have 3 kids, the two girls and an older son, age 9), but with two parties very close, I wanted two very different cakes. Sooo, I turned out these two...

Dora cake-pan cake (for the kiddie bday party):

And my first attempt at fondant:

Because of that, I've become obsessed with learning better techniques and tips and tricks...so I was thrilled when my friend gave me this URL!! And seeing how friendly everyone seems made me had to bring myself into the forums!! It's nice to meet you all!! I hope to get to know you better soon!!

Sadie

Welcome! I have picked up so many tips and ideas from this site...I know you are gonna love it here.
Nice cakes...good job on your first fondant. I rarely use anything else. If you haven't tried MMF yet you have to give it a go. It's great.

You gotta love it here! Welcome!

Your Dora cake was great and the other design and colours were fantastic. Get rid of a little white powder on it and you are sailing! thumbs_up.gif

Hi and welcome aboard to our obsession lol your cakes are very nice and I'm sure your daughters loved them. I'm on here several times a day and dont know what I would do without my computer (which by the way is sooooo old I swear it was found at an archaological dig) icon_lol.gif lol I just thank god my dh is a computer wiz and keeps me up and running because I swear I would go into withdrawal and need a shrink if I couldnt get into CC at least a couple of times a day icon_wink.gif

Welcome to Cake Central! I know you will love it here, as we all do. This is such a great place to learn because so many are willing to share and help.

And when you read the warning at the top of the page that says "This website is highly addictive", honey, you better believe it!

*G* I did just that before the party. Unfortunately there was some BC stuck on there as well because of a few mishaps with the bow, but all the powder came off and I was thrilled!!

Thanks so much for the welcome, everyone!! I had so much fun, I just surfed here for 3 hours last night...Unfortunately today I just don't have that kind of time...well, until tonight *G* Thank you for the very warm welcome, though!!!
