I have been decorating for 35 years and teaching for 34 years. I teach most mediums in cake decorating. I have taught and/or demonstrated across the United States and in other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, England and South Africa. I have written articles for several cake decorating and bakery magazines including magazines in Australia, New Zealand and England. I have published two cake decorating books; one on hand modeling and the other on buttercream flowers and arranging. I currently have a computer CD set out on creating buttercream flowers. I thoroughly enjoy passing on my love for the art.
