Hair-Do's and Cake Toppers

I have a little secret to share with you all.  For as long as I can remember, I have been OBSESSED with my hair.
This will probably sound completely strange,  but an example of my hair obsession takes me back to when I was attending high school in my teenage years.   You know how nowadays we would never leave the house or go anywhere without our wallet and cell phone?  Well back then I would tag along my round hairbrush with me EVERYWHERE I went.   I would blindly roll it through my flippy hair and then ask my poor friends (for the hundredth time that day) if my hair was okay?

Seriously, it's a miracle that they put up with it!!


Anyway, these past few years have been busy as hell with business and our 3 little children and I find myself always obsessing about my hair, and having less and less time to do anything about it.  I have (in my humble opinion), very nice and  HEALTHY long hair, but 0 time to style it in the morning.  I have been dying and dreaming for "something new, stylish and upbeat-with-minimal-maintenance-involved", but previous hairstylists could never really grasp what I wanted.

"Enough is Enough", said Ms Kitsch, so I went to Miss Déesse (which means Goddess) - -  Now, a few points about Miss D:

1.  Miss D has, hands down, the most beautiful hair in Switzerland... (not anymore though...hee hee;-)
2.  PLUS, she'a a hairstylist
3.  She's a hockey Mom -- her 2 boys play ice hockey (like our oldest son Miles)
4.   AND she's married to my Ex-Boyfriend!  LOL!
She's a perfect fit!  I liked her from the Get-Go!

I went to Ms D. and told her this:
1.  I'm sick of my boring hair
2.  I want a new look
3.  You can't cut it (did that once--never again!  I swear I will die with long hair down to my bottom!)
4.  I want to wake up in the morning, spend maximum 60 seconds on my hair and have SUPERSTAR hair, for the rest of the day.
5.  GO!

So, Ms D took out her magic wand, cried out "Abracadabra" and gave me a Superstar Hairdo!!
Her magic wand looks like this:
And all she did was wrap each strand in this magic wand/straightening iron, to give CURLS that stay curly, day and night until you wash them!  This is what I've been waiting for my whole life!

I was so excited at this new finding that I cannot express this into words.  Nevertheless, I really wanted to thank Ms D for helping me out so I made her a cake!!!


Here is what the top looks like (above).   I always say that the top of a cake is as important as the hair on a woman's head.  It finishes off the look.  You can have super make-up, a super outfit, but if the hairdo is solala...........

Voilà!  Here is the finished piece.  A Purple Ombré Fondant Frills Cake with Gumpaste Roses.  Ms D's hair salon is purple and white, so the cake had to be purple.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how the colors turned out in this piece and honestly, I could stare at this cake all day long.  It is splendid!



So, all I wanted to say is MERCI à Ms D for understanding what I wanted.  I love my hair!  I hope you will love your cake just as much!

A TOUR Inside the Sugarshack...




Well it's almost one full year since Kitschcakes moved into her new Sugarshack.  The place really does feel like home and the well-lit colorful ambiance really is the perfect ingredient for creating the perfect setting for inspiration.


Last week, my Paparazzi husband took his fancy camera and keen eye to the pink location.  Following are photographs of what the Sugarshack looks like.  Above, the obvious view from the outside.







Above, what you would be seeing through the glass window:-)




Above, the classroom (where the party's at!!) :-D

Hope you enjoyed this little tour and that you will find it compelling enough to take the time to come by for a visit.

Big hugs and Sweet Cheers!
