Rose started her "accidental cake business" in late 2009 with more than 20 practice cakes she made for her brother's wedding. By the following year, her prototypes had caught the attention of friends and family and turned into a steady stream of orders.

Since then, she has turned her talents into a thriving business, decorating more than 1,500 cakes for her blog, Rose Bakes. Now, with Cake Decorating for Beginners, she turns her years of knowledge and experience into a comprehensive cake cookbook for any aspiring cake decorator!
