Fairytale Frosting: About

Oh hello. I'm Jessy, of Fairytale Frosting.

Thanks for popping by my blog! Fairytale Frosting started out as a way for me to show my cake decorating experiments with friends and family and grew into a small business and creative outlet for me to share everything and anything that's on my mind! I hope you'll follow along!

I live in Minneapolis, one of the "Twin Cities" (fraternal twin cities!). I own my own home which I share with the loves of my life, Caesar and Oliver.

Caesar is 70 pounds of love love and more love. He has no idea he's a big dog. Oliver is still a pup, causing chaos and keeping life interesting.

I never knew how much having dogs would change my life! I am a big supporter of rescue organizations and pitbull advocacy groups. I'm currently volunteering with Underdog Rescue. (Check them out, we have some seriously cute pups available!)

Like I said, I started this blog as a way to share my cake decorating experiments. So how did I get into this? A few years ago, a friend of mine talked me into taking cake decorating classes at Michael's. I completed the courses and used any and every opportunity I could to make cakes. Eventually balancing my full time job, learning cakes and taking orders from friends and family became overwhelming. I changed my focus and now I make (and sell in my Etsy shop!) custom fondant cupcake toppers.
I also love to plan a good party! I have a background in Event Planning so from time to time I plan small soirees, usually in my home, and always with a theme!

This is one of my most popular parties. I put this baby shower dessert table together for my best friend who, at the time, was having her first child. You can check out the full story here: The Culver's Jungle Safari

I'm originally from Port Washington, WI.

Remember this show? It took place in my hometown, though it was never filmed there.

A few more random tidbits for you:
~I am a natural red head and obsessed with reading about other red heads, the genetic history, and other random facts unique to those like me. Red and Proud!
~I have a small obsession with Facebook. I tell myself that its not weird, but I don't think I could go days without it. I love being connected with my friends and family.
~I'm kind of a dork. I'm a single girl who loves to craft, scrapbook, and bake stuff. If that doesn't spell dork, I don't know what does.
~I'm not really a fan of my full-time job, but I do it because I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up. And no, I don't want to decorate cakes for a living.
~Glitter. We have an intense love affair going on.
