ACDN Member Spotlight Cindy's Cake Creations I kind of stumbled upon cake decorating by accident. I’ve always loved cooking and I am addicted to watching cooking shows on TV. I had never really baked anything before, let alone a cake. One day, an episode of Martha Stewart came on where she baked a monkey head in a Pyrex bowl. I thought, “That is the coolest thing ever! I’m so going to make that!” So I did. I baked it and spent hours decorating it for my little brother for his birthday. He loved it! Looking back at the monkey head, it was well… very bad! Boy, have I come a long way since then! But I was so proud then, and I knew at that moment I had been bitten by the cake decorating bug! The rest as they say is history. After posting the photo on Facebook, I received such great feedback from everyone. I started getting lots of requests from family and friends. f
