Well…I get asked a lot how I started and where I got all my Cake Decorating Education. Let me start from the beginning!
Let me introduce you to my first Cake Decorating Instructor:
Edna De La Cruz.
It was my mother’s idea to take a Cake decorating class at our local Michael’s Store. I was pregnant at the time (2006) and thought it would be a great thing to learn for when it was time for my child’s birthdays! I honestly didn’t know what to expect. My mom had always been the one that had been very crafty and I was not sure what I was getting myself into.
I had gone with my mom to other crafty group sessions and it never turned out that great! But again this time I gave it another shot! When I got to the class I couldn’t believe it… The first thing I noticed was…..This totally gorgeous lady was teaching it! She was super nice, always smiling, sweet and amazing at her cakes!
I remember saying to myself….Wow this is not boring! And she is soooo pretty…I want to be just like her! She had so much patience to really make sure everyone GOT IT! I remember being in class and my royal icing was way too hard….or way too runny and she came to the rescue! She always was positive about the whole thing… (I had a really hard time with royal icing at that time…ok ok…I Still do sometimes…)
Besides my mom, for her telling me to go to the class…… Edna really made my first Cake Decorating experience one to remember! Thanks to her I will never stop making cakes….It has now become my addiction! She is the one that got me hooked! I hope to one day soon, be able to see her again and do a cake together… I would love to pick up more tricks from her! She is truly an amazing person… She continues to help many inspiring cake decorators and professional cake designers with her free videos and DVD tutorials. If you ever get a chance to take a class with her, TAKE IT! I am sure it will also be one to remember! To you EDNA: THANK YOU! You are beautiful inside and out! Hope to see you soon! PS: every time I see Viva Paper I think of you…!

How do you guys like it? I think it was a total of 200 hours spent on this cake! Yup!!!! sleepless nights for sure! The best part about it is that we had lots of fun making it. For those that want to know... This cake was made out of modeling chocolate, gumpaste and fondant! This is a show piece and there was no real cake in it for that matter but if it had to be cake, the cake would be the tree trunk. What do you guys think? Please feel free to leave comments. It was unfortunate that the judge did not see what everyone was seeing. :( We were told that it was not original... too Tim Burton design and too gory! Us in particular have our own opinions..... he he he. We even had eye lashes on the doll..... I guess you never know! Here on the right are some photos for you to see for now..... more photos of other detail coming soon.
