Welcome

Welcome to Sweet Mia's blog! Sweet Mia's is a home-based cake and cupcake bakery. Tired of sitting at a desk and being someone's assistant, I am giving up the business world for fondant and frosting. Follow along with me as I learn cake decorating techniques and skills, but be forewarned it may not always be pretty. :)

My first step is to complete the Wilton courses at my local Joann's store. I just completed the Basic course and start "Flowers and Cake Design" this week. September will be my final course which focuses on fondant, I think. The first three Wilton courses combined with books, blogs and videos will be a good foundation for my business. Plus lots and lots of practice!

I do have a tendency to get side-tracked on other projects, so I really need all the support (and occassional push) I can get. I also do some sewing and scrapbooking. Not being at a full-time job is messing with my time-manangement skills because I have more time to manage and think that I can put things off. Focus, Kate, focus!!!

Thanks and I hope you all will enjoy my blog.
