Hi Everyone!

Well it has certainly been too long since I’ve updated the site. Partly to blame is the very busy holiday season, and very busy back-to-work period. I do have many (many!) new cakes to add to the site as I get a chance. In the meantime, I have created a Facebook page. Please check it out and if you’re on Facebook, become a fan. The link is:

I am looking forward to “seeing” more of you who are regulars to the page, and being able to interact with you more easily. A Twitter account is yet to come.

Cheers!

Well as everyone can see it is well past November 1st and the new site is not up. Due to an increased demand for cakes in October (and November, and December…keep ‘em coming!) as well as having been on my honeymoon, I have not been able to get the site finished yet. It looks great, though, and I am now aiming for a release date of January 1st, 2010.

I will try to post all my recent cakes this week as time allows. There are some really great ones that I am dying to get up. Big things are brewing here at HeatherSwitall.com. Thanks for continuing to check the site for updates!

It has come to my attention that Internet Explorer 8 has a bit of trouble displaying my website to its full advantage. If the site looks “broken” or funky, and you are using IE 8, please make sure you are viewing it in Compatibility Mode. To turn on Compatibility Mode for the site, please click the icon next to the address bar as seen here:

Thanks and happy exploring!

Hi Everyone!

I know there haven’t been any new cakes in forever. I will post some this week, I swear. In the meantime, I have started up a blog at http://domestique.today.com

Head on over to read all about the new stand mixer I just bought! The blog is devoted to all things domestic, not just cakes, but whenever there is a cake-related post I’ll link to it here.

In the meantime, I’m looking for ideas for my WEDDING CAKE! Yes that’s right, I am engaged as most of you know, and I have finally decided that I will be doing the cake myself. The big day happens October 3, 2009, and our colours are chocolate brown and cream. (Tasty!) The flowers are likely going to be pale yellow and pale orange, and probably some cream ones thrown in there for good measure.

I have a few ideas up my sleeve, but I’d love to hear what you guys think would taste/look good. So leave a comment and let me know!

Cheers,

Heather

I would also be happy to hear from anyone who has comments/tips/suggestions on working with melting chocolate to make these sorts of creations!
