THE NEW Cakeopolis

Due to some technical difficulties (insert complaint about google here), I have had to re-start my blog at a different address. Hopefully, we will pick up from here and that will be that!

A little about me:

love

cake.

It's a great art medium.

:o)

I find inspiration for cake EVERYWHERE I look. I saw a show once where Versace was on, and they asked him how he knew he loved designing and how could he do it for so long, and he replied that he loved it so much he just knew, because he would wake up in the morning with a new dress in his head.

A little lightbulb in my head went off! I totally wake up with a new cake in my head.

A lot of people say I look like Kristen Stewart, the actress.
Let me note that I am a little older, and have more children than she does.

But I'm flattered.
:o)

I like to walk out into that space where you worry about embarrassing yourself.

I'm an artist.
I can't help it.

I will make cake for the rest of my able bodied life. It is therapeutic, a ground for learning, a way to make people happy... it's wonderful. I hope there are many new avenues down my road that involve more of these diverse cake lovers. I love hearing about everyone's dream cake. :o)

All right all right. Most of you already know me. I'll get to the posting now.

Happy reading!

"Patricia is my go-to cake woman now. I will never buy another store bought cake for any special occasion. Her ingenuity and artistic expression are beyond compare! I have never had a cake from her that didn't exceed my expectations. She takes everything to the next level. She is professional and timely, and the price is always right. My children know that their birthday cakes are coming from Patricia and they start planning their cakes well in advance because they remember the last cake she made for them so vividly. It is obvious from the quality of her work that her cakes are her passion. She puts her heart into each one. Not only are they always beautiful and exciting but they are also delicious! Patricia is the best cake maker/decorater around! Hands down!" --Keeley Condie

"Patricia is wonderfully clever, and does really cute cakes. I asked her to make a birthday cake for my son, who is a phlebotomist in a hospital. The realistic arm she created looked ready to have its blood drawn, clenched fist and band on the upper arm and all, and she finished the scene with the appropriate gauze and band aids and a syringe, all out of fondant of course. Perhaps this particular cake is not your style :) , but it was a huge hit with my son and his friends. They were especially impressed when they cut into it and saw layered flesh-toned and blood-red cakes -- Patricia thinks of everything!
I found that Patricia really listened to what I wanted, then suggested extra details (like the band aids) beyond what I had expressed to make my cake just right.
She lives really close to me, so I went to pick it up, and was glad that she had prepared a solid base for it so the almost life-sized arm could be transported securely and with great stability. My son lives a good hour away, so I was pleased that I could deliver his cake with confidence.
I was very happy with her service and her product." --Eileen Leite

"Patricia,
I have had several of your cakes now and they have all been amazing, this one did take the prize though. It looked completely amazing and all four tiers were delicious. I especially love the fact they were all different flavors and that you made it with frosting and not fondant, it made it taste home made yet it looked professional. Not to mention the gorgeous flowers you had wrapping up it and the silver border you had on every tier. My parents loved it and said it completed their anniversary. You truly have a gift, your doing all of my cakes in the future. I cant tell you enough how much everyone loved this cake." --Dana Bergan
