A whole new wold open up to me the day I decovered this amazing hobby of cakes, back in 1994. Think to be able to make my own childrens cakes for any occation, and give everyone a sweet treat. I was so happy. And the word soon spread out to family and friends, who also wanted this creations of mine. I had to invest in a little books and tools.

It was not before 2004 I was able to join some classes. I went to Squires Kitchen and took an intensive class with Paddy Clark. After that I have been to classes with Lindy Smith, Maisie Parrish, Carolyn Heycox, Allison Lilleyman and Agneta Olsson. 

Today this hobby has become more as a lifestyle. And in my little workroom I can sit undisturbed with my sugarflower, modelling and cakes. In my time as a novice, I made cakes from books and copied others cakes. But now days I am happy to say that I make my own design, and often draw my cakes before start. In that way each cake will be unic and buildt up in my own style.

When I make novelity cakes /shaped cakes and other difficult designs I allways use chocolatecake or madeiracake. Firm good recipes is best for that kind of work. Carrotcake I use for some of the celebrationcakes, and for christmas I use fruitcake. So you see, there is no wipped cream based cakes to find here. Nor Marzipancakes. I have found the sugarpaste, and fallen in love with that. To be able to specialize like this, makes it easier to develop my skils and artform.

I am now also happy to say that I am giving classes in cakedecoration, sugarflowers and sugar modelling. My classes you can find in www.kakekurs.com or my class blog

You will also find me in the Norwegian forum Kakeglede, in Facebook and at Flikr 

I hope you enjoy your visit here at my place, and pleace feel free to come back any time.
