I recently discovered I can make Cake Toppers, my mum was a Cake Decorator for nearly 40 years (she passed away a few years ago now), I grew up with her making wedding cakes. Now at the beginning of this year 2012, I made a mother's day cake for my mother in law a realized I enjoyed it that much that I have continued to make cake toppers (more so than cakes).
I have basically taught myself using cartoons and pictures.
