Welcome Sitstahood!!

That's right!!! Today I am being featured on that wonderful comment love site: The Secrets in the Sauce !! These wonderful women believe that the secret to success in the blogosphere is support. If you are a Sitsta, you are dedicated to supporting one another by leaving comments. Lots and lots of comments. Here, I have found so many new sites to follow and who follow me. I just love my Sitstas!

For those of you who are new to Susie's Homemade, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Susan (a.k.a. Susie) Ewing. I am a thriving stay-at-home mom of two wonderful girls (5 and 18) and a caretaker of my 67 year old live-in mother. I started this blog to support my chocolate shop on Etsy.com ( Susie's Homemade Chocolate Shop ) but, it has become so much more.

It is here that I explore my adventures in homemaking, baking, cake decorating and gardening. This has lead to competitive baking , writing for other sites and designning other blogs . I am thrilled by all that has come to me over the last year that I have been on line.

The thing that is nearest and dearest to my heart is cake design. When I celebrated my blogoversary, I posted this slide show. I am reposting it here for the benefit of my new readers. This really shows what I am all about.



I love stalkers. Check out my left-side-bar for the many ways you can stalk me in cyberspace! I sure hope that you like what you see here and come back soon:-)

  7. Oh my! I just discovered SITS and am pretty excited... but I think I am even more excited by your cakes! While I am a self-described "cake snob" I am certainly not what would call a cake expert. I make quite the chocolate cake, but that's kind of the end of it. However, this snobbery leaves me with great respect for other people's fabulous skills. I'm terribly impressed :)

  12. Happy SITS day! What wonderful looking creations. I would do anything for cake. Once my bestie and I took a class on base, just cause we found out they served cake at the end of it. Yep, desperate and lazy in one fell swoop. I love your pics of what you made. Cant wait to look around more.
