Looking For Something?

About Me

I am NOT a chef, culinary student, professional pastry chef or any other formally trained food manipulator. I am the co-owner of Crucial Element Productions and CAKE! Dessert Design Studio. I can plan it, cook it, bake it and make it look pretty. Did I mention I love to eat?! If they had a 12 step program for Cakaholism I'd probably need about 15 to kick the habit. Decided to let my addiction become my pastime and eventually my paycheck.

The Dark Side of Cakery

As much as I love cakin' and designin' I find myself among those falling prey to its dark secret. Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of great caketicians seem to be carrying a bit more "love" than the average consumer? As with everything there are of course exceptions, however it seems that "quality control" amidst our search for confectionary perfection is doing cake artists and desert designers everywhere a bit of a disservice.

I know that being in the celebration business can be time consuming, hectic and at times draining but a persons health and body images is one of their greatest and most lasting masterpieces. So on that note I am issuing a challenge for myself and anyone else who would like to be involved. I've gotta wise up and EXERCISE some control over my cake addiction. My aim is to strike a balance between what makes me happiest (cakin') and what is going to allow me to keep it up (my health).

To start I am enlisting the help of a personal trainer to get me off my cake lovin' butt and keep me on my toes. This guy is AMAZING! He's young, fun, affordable and HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!!!!

You can chck out Bron Schuler and his blog at www.absinfitness.blogspot.com. You won't be disappointed.

As for me, I'll keep you posted.

TTFN - Stay Cakin'!
