Bippity Boppity Boo!

Hi! First, let me thank you for visiting the Bippity Boppity Bake Shoppe blog. I'm Cyndi, the owner, operator, baker, decorator, dishwasher, etc, etc.....I'm a self taught baker, and I've been baking all my life....not cooking, baking!

My husband swears that when he met me I did not even know how to turn on the stove. Actually, I have been baking with my Mother ever since I can remember. You know, the typical things; cookies and brownies on holidays and weekends.

I am 34 now and have been married for a little over five years. About three years ago, I took up baking, again...mostly for my husband. I started small, cookies and brownies, and haven't stopped. Once I got bored with basic confections, I moved on to cakes and cake decorating. I have been baking and decorating cakes for family, friends, and co-workers, for almost three years now. I never considered making and decorating cakes for a fee, but a few friends talked me into it this summer. Thanks! Y'all know who you are.

That is how Bippity Boppity Bake Shoppe was born. No looking back now. Sometimes I think I must be crazy to do this, since I have a full-time job as a Network Analyst for Grande Communications.......a job that I love.....but I love baking. Frankly, I really do not even have a sweet tooth. It is just the act of baking that brings me back to a special place and is very calming.

So there you have it, and I am open for business! I hope you will continue to visit my blog and check out my progress. I will be posting pictures of my latest creations and detailing all my trials and tribulations (and I always seem to have them) of this learning experience. It should make for an entertaining read!

Oh, and by the way, I still do not really cook, unless you count grilling chicken, fish, or steak for dinner every night. Thank heavens for the George Foreman Grill!
