Each equally delicious, and fun to create.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I never thought I had a creative bone in my body, especially since my entire life I have been labeled as “book smart.” Straight A’s are textbook, but creativity is endless. I turned on the Food Network and saw a Cake Challenge, and was immediately hooked at how these artists could make sugar flowers look so incredibly authentic, and yet they were edible! Since this is a recession, and jobs are hard to come by, I figure pretty much the entire nation is soul-searching, as am I. Putting my passion to the test, here are some samples of what I have created and completed since getting started. More pics to post in the upcoming weeks...
