Sugar Queen – Katherine Sabbath

WOW. Thought I would share a taste of some overly, mind blowing, super dooper, amazing cakes for something different. My sweet tooth is just off the radar after viewing the creations of Sugar Queen Katherine Sabbath, whom describes herself as an ‘Over-enthusiastic High School Teacher who on occasion, bakes the world a better place.’…and I’m not disagreeing either.

So….Who is going to bake us some caramel slice….
