A little about Dejha B

My name is Dejha B, and I have  always been a creative person since a little girl. Since the age of  5,  I was always that little girl in the school plays singing and dancing without a shy bone in body (My mom has tons of stories to tell about that) lol. At the age of 9, my 2 friends, and I started a dance group called D.W.A (Dancers With Attitude). We even won 3x on the Showtime at the Apollo in Harlem. Then at the age of 17 I decided to pursue a dream of rapping, in which I made a name for myself in the underground rap community. Rapping also lead me to co-host my own radio show. I know,I know,you are probably saying "when will she get to part about the custom cakes" lol. I was just giving you a little background of myself, so you can see that anything that lets me express myself is for me. I'm a true believer that you should never put yourself in a box. If you want to try something go for it, you never know what can happen. Now for the past year and half, I decided to go back to school, so I can become a lawyer ( I Know a little left field from what I was doing, but that's something else I discovered I love). I think my family, and friends gets a kick out of all my crazy ideas, but at the same time they respect that I always go after what I want in life. For the past year and half I was feeling like I was losing my creative side. My long days were consisting of waking up super early, taking my daughter to school, going to work full-time, and then going to school at night 4 days out the week. 6 months ago I knew my daughter was turning 5 yearsold, and I wanted to do a Candyland theme.I wanted alot of cupcakes and candy all over the place. Party planning always excites me. I took a Wilton basic decorating class for 4 weeks for decorating cupcakes. I was the girl in class who brought in the Betty Crocker Icing, and store bought cake ( I know a little sad right?) lol. I didn't really take it seriously, because I just wanted to decorate cupcakes. Towards the end I would look  at every YouTube video,and cake blog, and figured maybe I should give it my best. Once I did that I discovered I had a hidden talent! Therefore 3 months ago (May 2011) I made my daughter's birthday cake, and ever since then I've been making customs cakes for family, friends, and friends of friends. I'm self taught, but have learned alot of things along the way.Through this blog I will take you on my journey of cake making,and will even share tips/tricks I've learned along the way. I will also give you a story behind every custom cake. If people only knew all the craziness that happens when I'm making a cake. I hope you enjoy the ride, because as my family and friends know, you never know what to expect from me!
