We get the chance to work
with so many amazing vendors for parties that we thought we'd do a monthly
featured vendor post so you can get to know them too! These are REAL people,
following their passions and sharing their talents to make your party a success!
Be sure to leave a comment to say Hi!
We are honored to have
Rachel from Fondant Flinger be our very first featured vendor! Rachel does
AMAZING work! Check out these cupcake toppers she made for a spa party we have
coming up. They match the spa printable set perfectly! Her work is
featured in many of our parties.
1. Company name: Fondant Flinger
2. What do you do? Tell us
about your business!
I am a self
taught cake and sugar artist. My
passion is designing and creating cakes but recently I have been dabbling
in the fondant cupcake topper world.
3. How long have you been
in business? How did you get started?
4. What is your favorite part of your job?
I love being a
part of a family's celebrations. Its so uplifting being a part of the high
points in their lives. I'm currently getting my degree in psychology and
counseling. Thinking about having
a career dedicated to helping people work through their worst days is difficult
for me. I'd much rather be
remembered as that lady who made their wedding cake as opposed the lady they
had to see to get through their rough times. :)
5. What is your best party
tip?
Do plenty of
prep work! Do as much as possible
ahead of time so that you can enjoy the actual day (if you are a part of
they actual party). Stress does
absolutely nothing for my creative process so I've really tried to improve
my time management.
6. What is your favorite
party theme right now?
Oh
goodness...there are so many adorable ones out there. I mostly like the ones that are completely original in
design and tailored for that unique individual. My son told me he was planning for his birthday next
year and was pretty sure he wanted the theme to be desk lamps (like the
one in the Pixar cartoons). I
haven't seen that idea used before and I love that it came directly from the
imagination f my little one.
7. Tell us a little about
YOU!
OK, well, I'm
married (11 years) have two boys, Noah 5 and Levi and I go to school online
full time. I work in my local
church's AWANA program during the midweek in my 2-year old's
class, am incredibly skilled in backyard whiffle bat baseball,
love entertaining, ALWAYS dance in the kitchen, speed EVERY time I drive,
collect aprons and cake pedestals, have a love of sparkly things....my Mom
once bought me a shirt that said "I was going to take over the world but
got distracted by something sparkly"...that really does sum up quite a
bit. Um, let's see, I love my
husband, my family, take my faith and relationship with Jesus Christ very
seriously, love my Shar Pei (except when he sneaks on the couch to sleep and
knocks off all the pillows).
8. What is one of your
favorite recent projects?
My flower class
with Jacqueline Butler of Petalsweets in San Diego was amazing! I was able to walk away from that
weekend with a sugar peony and a cluster of sweet peas that I made
under her instruction. What
an incredible feeling of accomplishment!
Check out her Star Wars
cake! My boys would FLIP if they had this cake for their birthday! My husband
would flip if HE had this cake for his birthday! Awesome!
You can find Rachel and
her incredible works of art at the following links, go show her some Love!
