First Client
Retro-post: Original post date 12 January 2015
I got my first job as a cupcake and cake pop enthusiast (and crafter, of course). It was a bit of a surprise to get the satisfaction of serving an unrelated client my tasty treats! While we had no blood relation, we definitely had something in common when it came to preferred diversions… I covered a bridal shower with an arts and crafts theme. Convenient, non? What fun!
Oh, fudge!
Mark of an inexperienced blogger: appalling lack of photos. I just realized that in the process of making 24 red velvet cupcakes, 24 "crème brûlée" cupcakes and 36 chocolate cake pops I neglected to take pictures ridiculous amount of pictures before I delivered them...
(for shame!)
Luckily, I have connections and got the picture I needed...
Stuck the landing
"They were a big HIT :)" is a direct quote from the happy bride-to-be, so at least I have that working for me...

My father really loves surprises... And by that I mean, loves to pitch the idea that he promised friends a "batch of those cake-pop things and flower cakes you made the last week cause I promised I would bring them to the barbeque tomorrow afternoon". Say what?!
T-minus 16 hours
I would like to thank my mother for helping me in finishing this "order". We were up until 2am getting this job done... I am definitely charging next time! Tips not included.

Hello | Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette |
So, to start things off, a brief introduction...
About to get personal, people!

Name: Bianca
Status: Nerd Country: Eh! Likes: Montreal-style bagels, nighttime cityscape photos, fresh fruit, dancing Dislikes: Mosquitos, humidity, typos, unclean hands Raisons D'êtres: Palettes and pipettes |
Yeah, I write this blog...
This is where I live...
Canada, my home and native land! Maple syrup, hockey, snow, maple syrup served over snow... Cliché, sure, but I'll
take a chill over a sweat any day. Also, geese...
Side Note: Maple syrup over snow is a real thing! Visit a Cabane à Sucre (Sugar Shack) in spring!
This is what I do...
Craft. When it comes to the type, it's essentially anything I can get my hands on and (safely) do at home‒ baking, beading, sketching, painting, sewing, writing, crocheting‒ whatever doesn't involve a blowtorch, table saw, protective equipment, or several thousand degrees of heat.
...and this is why
Crafting is my creative outlet—I love putting artsy things together knowing it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be me. There are no rules when it comes to a blank canvas, so if I can imagine it, I can create it. It’s the kind of freedom that’s hard to find anywhere else. It makes me feel like a bit of a rebel, living in a world where the only limits are the ones I create. But let’s not get carried away… my artistic expression is not about a conventional upheaval against “The Man”…
Life can throw a lot of curve balls, and as a two-time cancer survivor, I have lived through many not-so-sunshiny situations. This is when art became my passion. When I had trouble finding beauty in the world, I created it—but not just for me. Adding a bit of pizzazz to your life (or hospital room) can really lift spirits, which goes a long way when it comes to feeling better. That is why I do this. Putting a smile on someone's face is the greatest joy I know, whether it comes from giving something I created, or just reminding someone that even simple scraps of paper have the potential to become something wonderful.
"I don't think of all the misery, but the beauty that still remains..." - Anne Frank
