Life between sugar and colors!
I am Eleni , owner of Lena's Cakes.
I have a degree in Chemistry, and I am a part-time teacher in my morning job. But I loved baking all my life. And my kitchen is my passion!
2012 starts counting days, depression in Greece has started and I had to find something to keep my mind of miserable things. And that's when me and fondant have met!
~Fondant (or sugarpaste) is a sweet edible dough made from sugar and glucose.~
It was fun, it was colourful and it was creative.What more could I ask? I started playing with it, colouring it, googling about it, and finding new techniques and tips every single day.
I am inspired by anything for creating new designs. You have a new wallpaper in your house? Probably I'm imagining my next topper if I visit!
After making the first cookies, cupcakes and cakes with fondant for friends and family, I decided to share those big smiles I saw on everyone's face with more people.
I started with my FB page and April 2013 I've joined Etsy.
In my shop you can find fondant toppers for birthdays, baby showers, weddings or any occasion that you want to make special for someone.
I recently added a new line of edible lace decorations, to help you make a party even more romantic!
Here you can also find supplies - boxes, ribbons and candies - so you can make your own party favors.
My Etsy designs are just a guideline. I will be more than happy to create an item especially for you.
That's the beauty of a handcrafter's small shop! Nothing is massively produced and I can remember every single party I made favors for.
( e.g.I can not forget the pink dolphin cookies I made for a little girl,once! At that time I thought it was odd...after a couple of years of making red seahorses, blue shells and purple snowflakes, I know there is no limit to party colors!)
Thanks for visiting....
And remember....
"You are never too old to dream a new dream"!
