If I ever become a woman of leisure I know exactly how I’m going to spend my time. I’m going to sit down and work on every project showcased over at the Cake Journal website.
I actually found Cake Journal through Cake Wrecks as part of CW’s “Sunday Sweets” section. I immediately subscribed to the blog because I love me some cake, especially when it’s really pretty cake. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make pretty cakes, but it’s one of those things that requires time and money, two things I have in short supply right now.
Louise, the creator of Cake Journal, offers many tutorials and recipes on how to make your own scrumptious creations. Just looking at how easily she makes her cookie lollies makes me want to quit my job and open up shop as a creative baker. I’m guessing someone with only one Elmo cake under her belt isn’t going to drum up much business, but I’m nothing if not a dreamer.
Everything on Louise’s site is a treat for the eyes and the site itself is very pretty. There is, however, one thing I don’t like; Louise lives in Copenhagen so there’s very little chance we yanks will ever be able to sample one of her creations.
What do you say, Louise? Care to test the entrepreneurial waters of a mail-order business? I’m just asking.

Omigosh! I am terrible at decorating cakes and cookies, but all her stuff is so beautiful! I want to do those flooded cookies.
I suck at cake making/decorating. When everyone saw Cam’s birthday cake that I bought and found out how much it cost, they all told me that’s the business I should go into. I guess they don’t realize that one must have skill before opening a bakery.
Meg-I forgot about the skill part. It takes time, money and skill to do something like that. Still, I think it would be fun to take a cake decorating class sometime. Some of the craft stores around here offer them.
