I always enjoyed baking, but after my daughter left for college I needed something more to keep me busy. I have been creating cakes for about 10 years. It's interesting to see how my techniques have progressed over time. I try to create cakes that are relevant to the situation and make people happy.

Recently I entered my first cake competetion with professionals and placed 3rd with judges and 2nd in People's Choice.

For me, spending 12 plus hours creating a cake goes by so quickly. I look forward to creating the next cake.

If you would like to learn more about making cakes I would first suggest that you purchase a book by Sheila Lampkin - Cake Decorator's Motif Bible. This will help you get started. Be sure to stop by my RESOURCE page where you will find links and information on cake decorating.

Although most of my cakes are made for families and friends I will be happy to bake a cake for those living near Morgantown, West Virginia. Just send me an email at sharon@cubby-cakes.com and we can talk about your cake.
