Show Must Fo On

Being new to the blogging community, I was super excited to be invited to Cake and Cocktails hosted by Emily Ellyn and Mercedes Strachwshy several nights ago. My dear friend and blogging mentor, Anna-Marie was sure I would have a wonderful time and she did not disappoint.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew the plan was to have a hands-on experience with fondant and drink some cocktails. While I am crafty, I’m more of the scrapbook and quilting and using straight lines and rulers type than the delicate, let’s make flowers type. But Emily handed me her signature pineapple upside down cake beverage and all bets were off. Let’s make flowers!

Satin Ice artist and Bake Me a Cake owner Mercedes Strachwshy was giving the demonstration. She spoke of cake decorating and her love for it while she molded a ball of fondant into an almost life like rose with ease and grace like I’ve never seen. Literally like it was nothing.
