Howdy decorators, I'm Laurie originally from New Orleans but I currently reside in the city that never sleeps,Las Vegas!! I have 3 awesome grown children and 3 Grandchildren....Katelynn's 6 turning 7 in June (she's a Friday the 13th baby), Michael is 5 turning 6 in Oct, and Dj just turned 3 April 1st. Yeah he's a April Fools baby lol. I'm a beginning self taught-inspired pastry chef and chocolatier. I'm far from a professional, but I definitely enjoy creating different creations and trying new things. For now, this is a hobby but I'm hoping one day to sell my work. In the meantime, I'm always looking to learn new things, so I'm hoping as with other sites I have been on that I can learn a few tips and tricks here.
