Hello everyone! My name is Cara and I am the author of Creative Baker! I would like to start by telling you all a little bit about me. I was born and raised in Chicago, Ill. I began baking six years ago. I taught myself how to bake and I first began baking birthday cakes. After baking my first few, I knew that baking was something I wanted to do as a hobby, maybe even for a career. I bake all of my work from scratch and decorate by hand. Here at the Creative Baker blog, you will find instructions and photos of all sorts of home-baked goods ranging from cakes to cupcakes galore! My work is far from ordinary. My ideas come from inspiration and experience. So follow along for inspiration and ideas that will help you to be a creative baker as well! Welcome aboard!
