I like pink. I am a girl, what can I say? But after spending hours on end looking at several cake related websites for the Nashville area I have decided that being part of that select group of people must require you to have a pink web page. So, for this new year I decided to change my page to something other then pink. I had to. It is like purchasing wall paper out of a book at Home Depot. I can't do that. I can't be a creative thinker in my kitchen when I know that 10,000 others are standing in their kitchens with the same images of apples or fruit just below their crown molding. It's like showing up to prom in the same dress as someone else. Therefore, Ice This has a new face for 2009. I hope you enjoy.
2008 was a crazy year for me and my family! We had many major life changes, some great and some not as great. But for Ice This is was an overall great year! I think I put out about 75 creations this past year and I was recognized twice by the Nashville Scene! Isn't that amazing?! I have my Best Of award hanging in my dining room and it is all I can do not to call the local electrician to add some fancy lighting.
I have had a busy past couple of months and hope to post pictures soon. I have been really bad about taking pictures of cakes! You would think with as much time as I spend creating and carving I would quickly grab my camera. Oh well. But, I have several pictures that have just arrived from some of my clients so I will post pictures soon. Promise.
2009 will start off with some really fun events for Ice This. I plan to participate in the Nashville Cake show at the end of February at Sweet Wise. The theme for the show is "Love Affair with Music City" so if you have any great ideas, please pass them along. I have come up with a design but it is always subject to change. My best friend is also getting married in March and in addition to being the mother of the ring bearer and a brides maid I will also be making the cake. I can't wait!! I did a taste test with her this past week and we all had a hard time not licking the platter! I think it might become a signature flavor in the near future! I will also be doing a few baby showers soon and birthday celebration cakes. It looks like it is going to be another great year.
Warm wishes to all of you for a happy new year! Let's all eat cake!
