Lindsay's Description:

Having been inspired by her nephew's 1st birthday cake and volunteering to throw a baby shower, Chris started on her cake decorating adventure, and what a wonderful adventure it is.  At Adventures in Cake Decorating, Chris shares her anecdotes, detailed photographs and write-ups of her cake creating process and points out what she considers her successes and failures as well as what she learnt from the whole experience.  With a wonderfully open and honest outlook to her blog you can't help but enjoy, and being inspired by, Chris' Adventures in Cake Decorating.

Chris's Description:

This blog is intended to catalog my adventures in cake decorating. I can only hope that this blog helps or inspires others to dive into the realm of decorating cakes. It's the most delicious art out there!
