I have a crusade against fondant, also shortening. There's no reason why wedding cakes can't taste good if you know what you're doing.

The most successful person is the one who is most inspired. That is true in food and in life.

I like crazy, childlike, candy bar-filled cakes with gooey caramel, chocolate-covered nuts, marshmallows, and the like.

Repetitiveness and discipline are the secrets of cake decorating. The art comes from the meticulous technique, the way it does for a dancer.

Your best creative assets do not occur unless you do a mental shift. You have to be in a positive frame of mind because inspiration is fleeting. I walk to work for inspiration and to clear my mind.

I don't follow trends. I make each cake for a particular wedding, or event.

Regrettably, people today don't watch many programs that actually teach people how to cook, so I agreed to do a competitive show that I think will provide inspiration.

For months I've been working on creating techniques to reproduce Swarovski crystals in sugar using the real stones to guide me.

After I quit dancing, I tried a lot of jobs. But I could always bake.

Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength.

The great art of giving consists in this the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.

I acknowledge that the kingdom of God is with me

Anytime fashion and music go hand-in-hand and it really is an organic fit, it's amazing.

Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.

I would certainly end up forever crying the blues into a coffee cup in a park for old men playing chess or silly games of some sort.

The Greek word for box is kouti which also means stupid.

When you have a Clear purpose, you won't have time for negativity

Death is so preoccupied with life, that is has no time for anything else.

The laws are very simple: thought is creative; fear attracts like energy; love is all there is.
