Helen is a talented cake designer whose love of cake artistry and attention to detail are evident in her wonderful "Gardens" cake featured. Wilton Cake Decorating classes completed over several years have built a solid foundation for Helen to hone her cake decorating skills. The last class in the series, Wilton Fondant & Gumpaste really sparked her interest. However, after she joined the NYC Cake Decorators, she really got started! The classes and demos have been wonderful but it is the guidance and comraderie from the fellow members which Helen finds most valuable. Helen is currently a member of I.C.E. and the NJ Cake Decorators, and she is looking forward to enrolling at the French Culinary Institute's pastry program during Summer 2009. Helen is currently building a portfolio on her website Helenscakes.net and hopes to turn this hobby into a viable business.
