Welcome to my Blog......





So here you are....on my new blog....please be patient as I am new to this whole blogging thing...
I would love to make this a place to show who I am...what I do..... things that interest me and places I want to go in my life. 
Who am I? 
 a wife, a mother, a friend and last but not least a Foodie!!!

What I do?
 I call myself a cook, a pastry girl, a teacher....my friends and family like to say I'm a chef... I save that title for those who I respect as a teacher and master of the arts and those I aspire to be like one day.

Things that interest me?
You name it, books, music, dance, history, travel....
I could go on for days...As I progress more with this blog....
I hope to continue to answer these questions and maybe yours
too. I am always open to helping out, in the kitchen, your home,
your kids or even just a shoulder
to vent on!!! or cry on!!! or laugh on for that matter!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you come back often, to
see what I'm up too

Where I want to go?
This is a double edged question for me.....
were I want to go spiritually and daily in my life...is to a place where I am comfortable and happy and where I can appreciate all that is good in my life.  A place where family and friends support me and I support them....with all our faults, amazing qualities and silly quirks!!
were I want to go in the physical sense... is to travel Italy and all over Europe and explore history and food...and maybe live there for a little while one day.

So what happens when someone asks you to come up with a Birthday cake for their 11 year old girl's birthday. The only directions are something girlie, something pink...and oh..they are going to see a movie for the party!!
First, you find out what movie:

Second,  you grab your favorite gal pal...who just happens to be an amazing graphic designer (Thanks Kim) that's Kim Viernes of Zoom In Designs...you can catch her link at the bottom of the page.
So this is what we came up with...and thanks to Kim's great model work..I was able to create everything else out of frosting...bags, clothes, signs...
A scene straight out of the movie...with a name change for the birthday girl and a street sign for her age!!
