These are the first cupcakes I've ever done.

My first cake

My first cake.

I decided to do a gluten free chocolate cake with peanut butter filling for my friend Jen.

Not the best... but not bad for my very first cake.

My second class...

My first class

The first class was pretty basic.  We learned how to use piping bags, how to fill them, and what different tips do.  This is what I came up with...

Where it all started

My obsession with cakes started when I was looking for my wedding cake.  I came across the most amazing cakes, and could not believe some of the creative things people had come up with.  I started talking with the girl who did my cake, who is now one of my best friends, and she gave me all the details on the classes and I decided I had to do it.  I've been hooked ever since.

While looking into cakes, this was the deciding factor.

This cake.

So beautiful in such a simple way.  It's perfect.  I couldn't not do this after seeing this cake....

I can't wait to try making it myself one day.
