| 2007 was my first year competing in any cake show, let alone the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show, the biggest cake show in the country. There were a lot of fantastic cakes there, and I was excited to sweep the Centennial category for the Semi-Pro Division. |
| The Centennial category was for cakes that celebrated the last one hundred years of Oklahoma's statehood. This cake was inspired by Harold T. Holden's bronze sculpture, Monarch at Rest, which sits outside the Oklahoma History Museum in Oklahoma City. (pictured above with the artist) |
| The "leather" on the holster and belt is embossed. Everything from the bullets to the belt buckle is edible. |
| This cake is a tribute to Native Americans. The symbol on the skull represents the circle of life. The outside of the cake is decorated with the scenery of Oklahoma, from the plains to the plateaus to the mountain ranges, and includes a gum paste rattlesnake underneath, to represent the rattlesnake roundups of Oklahoma. |

I met the Ace of Cakes, Duff Goldman, at the
Mid-Atlantic Cake Show in Westminster Maryland.
Duff founded Charm City cakes right here in
Baltimore and is famous for his Food Network
show. I also had the privilege of meeting many
other famous pastry chefs and cake celebrities
who offered me a ton of tips and advice. Special
thanks to Nicholas Lodge, Colette Peters, Norman
Davis, Ruth Rickey, and Dianne Gruenberg - I
learned a lot from all of them and appreciate
their time in sharing their expertise.

| This was my first cake competition and I decided to enter this Irish Breakfast cake. Everything was fondant, from the tabletop to the tea bag and the silverware. The toast was just slices of cake, burnt for a little added authenticity. |
