Face Painting Info

I started face painting after I took my daughter to have her face painted at the local market. It looked so beautiful and enjoyable, I just had to try it for her birthday. So I did some online research, bought the best face-paint I could find, and tried it out. I've been painting faces for just about every party I've been invited to since. Children love to have their face painted, it's a bit like dressing up; pretending to be someone new and exciting! With my background in graphic design and commercial art, it was easy to apply my brush techniques to children's faces instead of a canvas.

Specialty Cake Info

When my sister announced she was getting married, I volunteered to make her a groom's cake. I had made cakes before for family, but never to the scale of a wedding cake. To practice for it, I first made her a wedding shower cake. It turned out beautifully and I learned specialty cakes with fondant are one of my favorite things to create. From then on, I have made a specialty cake for nearly every family event I attended. They make an event so much more memorable to have a centerpiece with the theme and spirit of the gathering.
