Bridal Information Center
Hi and Welcome to the Information Center provided by Harriet's Creations. Within these pages you can familiarize yourself with terms and definitions of cake related items which you may find useful in your search for a Cake Artist. Many of you have already done your "homework" and feel you understand this. Some of you have not had the time to do this kind of research, and others of you may understand but without someone explaining you are kind of fuzzy about the whole thing. This is understandable, that is why I encourage you to read, understand and ask questions at the consultation.
Just to get you off to a knowledgeable start about me, Harriet Cobb. I have been doing cakes since 1993. I was an instructor of the Wilton Method of Cake Decorating which holds classes at Hobby Lobby and Michaels, where I taught for 5 years in the Germantown locations. I taught at all levels of instruction doing: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced classes. Cookie Bouquets, Candy Molding, Gingerbread House construction, and of course, Fondant classes were the subjects of the day. I enjoyed teaching and seeing the smiles on the faces of people who could, at last, master making an icing rose, clown or even a royal icing flower. I finished teaching due to the demand for my services as a wedding cake decorator/designer on an individual basis. I love it, I love spending time with you girls as your dreams materialize before your eyes of the day you have held in your hearts for so long. I joined the International Cake Exploration Society (ICES) in 1995 and have enjoyed learning techniques from all over the world through associations with them at conventions, video and hands on learning.
Harriet's Creations was incorporated in 1999. I am also a current memberof the Retail Bakers of America, and Better Business Bureau. I am a resident of the area for 24 years. I have 3 sons, and a husband who flies with FedEx. Ok, now for the Info.
Please feel free to look at my other pages, and find out more in short periods of time...you time challenged person! These days...aren't we all?There are any numbers of toppings which go on the surface of a cake, as I'm sure you've seen. Some look abundantly smooth; others are textures, much like a craft technique. So first, let's talk about top surface icing.
