Featured Artist- Paper Cakes by Rachel
When we first saw these yummy paper cakes we knew we had to feature Rachel! I mean why wouldn't we?! It's all the decadence and none of the guilt! Rachel is a stay at home Mom of two small children. She loves doing crafts because it allows her to be creative. She also loves ALL handmade items because they have such a personal touch to them.
We asked Rachel how she got started in crafting, "I started making paper cakes when I was asked to be in charge of the party favors and centerpieces for my Father-in-laws surprise birthday party. It just really blossomed out from there because after the party I was getting calls asking for cakes. I really enjoy making them because there are so many possibilities!"
What is your favorite material to work with and why? "Ribbon is my favorite because I just think that it is soooo beautiful and there are so many different kinds! It can really dress-up just about anything and is so easy to work with!!! :)"
Where is your business based? "My business is based out of my house. It is starting taking over more and more space!" Do you have a dedicated work space, and what do you love about it? "I do have a dedicated space and what I love the most it is the ribbon holder that my husband had made for me!"
What inspires you? "Oh my gosh.... so much inspires me! Just a couple are my children, my customers, real cakes, and the design and color combination of clothing."
What is your favorite crafting tip? "Less is more when using a hot glue gun." What is your favorite supply store and why? "I love Hobby Lobby! Just so much to choose from at really good sale prices!

This is the most creative idea ever! I was googling handmade party cake ideas and viola! I found you via Etsy Giveaways! I would use this for my dinner party when I get and pass my bar exam! It will be a party for all the people who supported me in realizing my dream of becoming an attorney. The ones who listened to me cry, proofed my papers, came over to just give me a hug. My devoted and supportive friends and parents would def love this.
