Hi!
Having never written a blog or so much as a journal, im not sure how to begin, Or end for that matter.. but here goes.
Im an artist. In my case that word encompasses a huge avenue of creative expression. Sugar craft, applied art or even just hot glueing anything i can get my hands on. Art makes me happy. It gives me an identity.
But for now, i'm going to be blogging mostly about..... SUGAR! And all that comes with it. Trust me, there's a lot. A LOT.
2 years ago i stumbled upon a you tube tutorial video on how to make sugar roses. Having worked with clay before, it didn't seem all that difficult. So i scrounged up all the ingredients i could find to make this 'edible clay' called fondant. The end result, of course was disastrous. Without the right ingredients and equipment, i gave up and bought readymade fondant instead. That was the day my life changed. Not being cheesy. But fiercely honest.
Then there was no looking back. I googled, you tubed, wiki how-d every single video/article/tutorial there was on sugar craft and got to work. Its amazing how many people have taken out time to share their very own trade secrets for the benefit of beginners like me. If any of you are reading this, here's a HUGE Thank You. I would still be making cost sheets and planning other people's vacations to exotic destinations if it wasn't for you guys. Seriously, Thank You.
One thing led to another, and now im the proud owner of a little label i call "Firefly". It's by far the best thing that's ever happened to me, and probably ever will.
Here's the website.. stop by when you have a chance: http://fireflyindia.co.in/
I'm going to posting a lot of pictures of not only my cakes, but of the ones i aspire to make someday. Trust me, you want to see these. They're works of art.
Arrivederci for now!
