Well, it’s Thursday so it’s time for Tip Thursday on my Facebook Page. Today’s Tip Thursday is brought to you by the lovely Eva Salazar of Make Me My Cake.

Here is a little bio Eva shared about herself –
I come from Spain but I live in Miami. It wasn’t until I moved to Miami when I transformed my hobby in a full time passion. Then I created Makememycake and since then I couldn’t stop my craziness about cakes.
My first cake decorating book “Tartas Esculturales” came out last September full of fun and unique designs.
