Cakes That Inspire Me

 "Child's Play"

 
I seen this cake by and artist Richard Ruskell and I knew I just had to do it in a different version that was lighthearted and free. So here at Encouraging Wisdom In Cake Designs, I pulled the team together and we came up with this circus themed design and just went for it. We was careful not to make it elegant we wanted it just to be childlike and open to the imagination. Although not totally completed I thought it was a good idea to share this photo with all of you please enjoy and click the link to chat about it on the New!!!! Cake Chat page at E. W. Cake Designs or visit the source page at ewcakedesigns.net

Do Classes have a prerequisite? And why should I take pictures of my cakes?

Absolutely not. All classes that I teach are 

specifically design for that course 
or that class.

You must not be intimidated when signing up for or

 taking my classes. We are 
here to show design ideas and techniques.

 Your creation

 comes from your 
innovative ideas and creativity. I can only

 inspire you to bring out the art 
that you want to display. 

My classes should be fun and informative. 

I am always excited, just as you are to see your

 creations. Also the joy on your 
face sends thousands of messages. This is what we

 strive for in my classes.

Take pictures of all of your work and think of it as 

journal, a portfolio. 
No matter how much you may think the product it is not

 to your standards there is a good 
percentage that there is something on that project

 that you Like and will need 
later. It is just a form of a cook book, some

 recipes you will like others you 
just might skip over but you still have the 

ingredients for all recipes. Giving 
you a choice as to what you may want to do.

Always understand that your artwork, your cake,is 

your work and you should be in 
control of it at all times. I highly suggest never

 letting someone dictate to 
you how your craft or art should be displayed.

 In this instance I would walk away, this is according

 to the situation. I have always my saying

 "Your last cake could possibly be your last cake." 

 Meaning what the consumer

 sees is what they will relate to you, weather is good 

are bad.So I would highly suggest staying in the

 direction of 
good.

This is some information related to me early in my

 career

 and now I am able to share this with you.

No Show/No Call

 No Show/No Call 

I must say that  I write this with much regret,

 but it seems that it is much needed.Lately there has 

been a stream of no call no shows.

It  is common courtesy 

to call someone that is expecting

 you if you are not going to be able to attend. This

 allows everyone to make arrangements to accommodate all

 those who are involved.

 Keep in mind,

 sometimes those involved could perhaps

 be traveling a distance to meet with you. 

Technology has allowed us to do many things in this day

 and age (i. e. a letter being delivered by horse 

and buggy to a simple phone

 call.)Also by not calling you could possibly be 

relinquishing

 your right to make up that particular session. 

IT IS GOOD BUSINESS & IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE 

WITH YOUR INSTRUCTORS & BUSINESS ASSOCIATES.

 I always suggest good business practice because

 you never know who's watching and who you might need later.

 A bad reputation could

 easily lead to a failed business.As for me, you always

 have access to contact me

 with any questions or concerns.

 Good Luck
