As a full-time mom, part-time ER nurse and lover of all things sweet, I have finally found my creative outlet, While I do enjoys sewing, crochetting, knitting and painting, the reactions I get from the cakes I make are so much more satisfying than, "Oh gee, Deb, thanks for the ____" (slippers, baby blanket, scarf, etc.). Besides, my circle of friends has moved on from weddings and babies already (which is really sad, those were fun times). My cake decorating (very small) home business started with my mom enrolling me in the Wilton classes at Michael's and kind of took off from there. These days, i do at least 3 cakes a month, mostly for friends and co-workers. My 2 girls and husband enjoy being my official taste testers and cleaning up any scraps for me. I love a challenge and my clients have been ready to provide those opportunities for me. While most of my cakes are fairly small (will feed 10-15 people) I have done a few wedding cakes and recently made a cake for my hospital for an event there. I'm a pretty busy girl, but i wouldn't want it any other way. Hope you enjoy looking at my cakes. I know Ive found lots of inspiration from other Craftsy members and the online courses have been fantastic. Just need my friends to throw bigger parties so I can make bigger cakes for them. Take Care, Deb The Cake Nymph P.S. I have a bit of an obsession with dragonflies. They have been messengers from the divine my whole life. A nymph is a baby dragonfly and I thought a fitting symbol of my fledgling business. Although i must admit, I do kind of like the naughty connotations as well.
