Leslie Christiansen

Leslie started decorating cakes the year her daughter wanted a specific one out of a magazine, and Leslie doesn't like being told something can't be done. She bought a cheap set of tips and figured it out over a weekend. The first cake was a disaster, the second was fine, and by the fourth or fifth birthday she was better than the grocery store bakery. She's a practical home baker at 4,600 feet, not a pastry-school person, and she'll say so. She's made cakes for around forty ward events and knows where the trouble spots are. She teaches the way she does everything, as a project with steps you follow in order.
