For those that feel the blog is getting boring sorry you feel that way, if you started this blog with us you will remember it is supposed to be twice a week thing but we try to update every week and we work as well.
The jewelry rant last week was for the traditional wear, you need to go see some pictures :) on some sites. Nothing much to say today, but as always thank you all and have a great week.

Why I went into cake making?
Why I went into cake making?
I started baking cake at age 14, I really started baking professonally in 1997 at Basildon UK.
I had just had my first baby and was a stay at home mom,(was trained as a professional accountant but had to leave my job to take care of my baby), so I deciced to turn my hobby into a profession. I took some culinary and sugarcraft couses at Squires Kitchen, Surrey England and started my cake making business out of my kitchen in 1999.
In 2000, I & 2 staff moved to a store location at Basildon ,where we served the local bakery shoppers oven fresh cakes and pastries daily. This we did till 2004 when we sold the bakery due to relocation with my family to Atlanta,USA.
Once in GA, I took some additional sugarcraft courses to brush up my skills at the Int'l school of SugarCraft Norcross GA,(owned by world renowed sugar artist-Mr Nicholas Lodge) . In 2005,I got EdibleCraft registered and started baking for the public once again.
In effect,I've been doing cakes professionally for 10 years now.

RANTS OF THE WEEK
1. Really ladies let us talk, what is the big deal about throwing the bouquet. Why is it when they call single girls even those of you that dont have men still act like you do. Even when you see the bride calling you and looking sad you still refuse.
2. We blogged about this before but we have to say it again cos it is getting soooooo out of hand, please talk to your parents about the chairman they pick for your wedding. We understand that some like to use their big friends but come on - they dont have to bore the crowd, take your own wedding personal or start making a show out of the job.
3. Brides this is for you - braids used to be forbidden for the bride but now more and more brides are braiding their hair and it is beautiful. Please brides before you bride, weave, fix weave on or just style the hair please try to retouch a week in advance at least. UNDERGROWTH is not cute.
P.S What do you feel about our new rant picture :)
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
A bride is not allowed/expected to speak at wedding reception (even though some do), is there a reason why?
