Surround yourself with Beauty...Immerse yourself in Creativity

Welcome to my personal blog.

With so much of my time spent designing, baking and decorating cakes, I find that it can easily become a brain drain.

So when I need a break from the cake, I retreat to the simple joys that make me smile.

I love photography, poetry and beauty created by all artists.
So I come here, taking time to read and post words that are personal inspiration, as well as photos that make me smile.

This is my private paradise- away from all things cake.
I hope you enjoy my little sanctuary.





Unabashed Joy!

A Mensch

The world has lost a great man.

Today, I am saddened with news of the loss of Coenraad Rood.

As my mentor, he trained me in tailoring, but it was the lessons
  he taught me through his life, as a Holocaust survivor, that were far more valuable.

His sense of humor was contagious, his wisdom far-reaching, his virtue unchanging.

I will forever be indebted to him for his kindness and
generosity of spirit.

It was truly a blessing to have known him.

May he be at peace.
