I've always been a very creative person. Over the last few years, I've dabbled in mural painting, painting on canvas, sewing...you name it. I've decided the most fun medium of all is, yup, you guessed it...cake!
Actually, it's in my blood and that's how I got started. You see, in the 1940s, my grandfather owned Abbadessa's Italian and French Bakery in Brooklyn, New York. Almost 60 years later, I inherited all the cake decorating tips, flower nails and bags that he had saved and it inspired me. So, in 1999, I made my first cake for my sister's baby shower. It was a plain yellow cake with yellow fondant icing and a fondant rope around the bottom. Plain Jane. While I was making the cake, I ran out of vanilla, so I ran to my neighbor's house to see if I could borrow some. I found out at that time that my neighbor Addie and her husband Bob were the editors and publishers of American Cake Decorating Magazine. They gave me several issues of the magazine to read and the rest is, as they say, history.
Now, I make fancy cakes, fun cakes, shaped cakes, pretty cakes, the occasional cupcake and cookie and I have so much fun doing it. If you need any desserts for a special event or just fun making an ordinary day a little bit fancy, I hope you give me a call.
