Walk into a Forrest

About a week ago I went for a litlle walk (a virtual one if you may). You can imagine how delighted I was when I "walked" into this...

further along my path, was this...

and if that wasnt enough, around the corner, were these little guys just waiting to be adored...

(a forest prince, the gnome/tomten child, little red riding hood, and one cute little mushroom)

This darling forrest party was put together by Cathy from Handmade Cathy Gaubert for her daughters, several moons back. Yet, I had barely come across it!!!

I really cant say enough about this party and I know you like it too! So walk on over to Cathys blog to view more pictures and learn how she put it all together.

While you are gone, I think I'll go for another one of those walks....

By the way, have you seen anthing?

Please point me in that direction (wink).

OR you can always leave a comment!

Real Life Confections- Case 1122

Louise Dueholm is from Denmark and also happens to be the creator of the Cake Journal. She is a wife, a mother and oh yeah she is an AMAZING baker (self taught).
These are her confections:

more on this brilliant baker:

What do you do when you are not baking Louise? If I am not baking I am spending time answering emails and checking out other cake blogs. I do a lot of online research to see if there are any new cool cake pans, cupcake cases etc. I also love to read cake books. But because I am a stay at home mom I'm in charge of the daily household and with two kids it can sometime be hard to have time for everything at one go.
When did you first become interested in baking? I have always found baking interesting. But it started for real when I decided to make a cake for our wedding back in 2002.
What do you enjoy most about baking? Decoration!! I find it rather peaceful to sit and make sugar roses, flowers and figurines.

Have you ever taken a class? Yes and I can highly recommend it. You learn so much from it. What is the first think you ever baked? Hmm I think it was a chocolate chip cake...?
What has been your biggest masterpiece? My biggest masterpiece has to be a large wedding cake with fresh strawberries for some of our best friends wedding. The only bad thing was that I was extremely tired at the wedding reception because I hardly slept all night.
Do you have any other creative interests/hobbies? I like to paint, draw, and make fun creative activities with my kids.
Any words of wisdom for anyone wanting to get into baking? Just jump into it and keep practice and most of all have fun.

Thank you so much for participating Louise!

You can find Louise and her amazing work at Cake Journal. It is a great place to talk cake or find inspiration for your next shindig. Make sure you visit!
