Bay Area Girl Carves Out a Niche for Herself with Cake Sculptures
(ContentDesk) November 30, 2005 -- Debbie Goard launches web site to promote the eating of dogs , bags and dead rats (uh, cake interpretations, that is). Mid November 2005 marked the long time coming launch of www.debbiedoescakes.netDebbie is an Oakland resident by way of North Carolina. She has a background in art, with nearly two decades of experience in cake design. Over the course of her career she has crafted a motley array of edible artworks. Most recently, she served a stint in a San Francisco bakery that specialized in x-rated cakes, but not limited to them.
Catering to bachelorette parties, the work was interesting, to say the least, but Debbie really savored the opportunities to veer from the "adult" themes and satisfy her love of sculpture. Her designs have run the gamut from edible purses to the aforementioned dead rat cakes.Still,while she enjoyed her work she never really believed that cake design was her calling, always viewing it as a job and not a career. In fact, in 1998 she vowed to end her bakery days and risked it all to start her own handbag line called ChiChi handbags. The business was slow to take off and handbag design was becoming a glutted field. When a certain White House intern announced her own line, she knew it was time to get out.
It wasn't until two years later that a move to California prompted her to return to cakes.The die was cast this time and she embraced her field.Cake sculpture gave her an opportunity to reconcile her love of art with her need for money. After countless instances where her cakes, often bearing no resemblance to "cake" were mistaken for "real" objects, most notably, the time a life size chihuahua cake compelled restaurant patrons to exclaim "Why is there a dog on the table?!"It was then that she realized that perhaps she had been denying her fate. Soon after, www.debbiedoescakes.net came to fruition. So, if you see a dog on a table, don't be alarmed -- he's probably just there for the dessert..
Sequin Purses
Purses, popularly known as handbags, evolved several centuries ago. What first began as simple pouches made of hide, soon developed into status symbols, adorned with lavish embroidery and precious stones. The earliest purses were simple animal skin pouches that were used during religious ceremonies by the Egyptians and Babylonians. In course of time, they evolved into the expensive designer bags made by fashion houses, that we see today. Although the functionality factor is important, of recent, more emphasis is laid on the style statement.
A purse has essentially been used as an object to carry money, keys, makeup kits and important documents. There are several different types of purses available in the market. Each type has its own unique design and style. Sequin purses are one of the popular styles of purses available. Sequins are shiny, disk shaped beads used for decorative purposes.

Cigarette Cases
There are many cigarette accessories that complete a smoker's kit. Chief among them are cigarette cases, lighters and holders.
Cigarette cases are most useful when cigarettes have to be stored in small amounts while traveling or on a long journey. However, cigarette cases have today achieved the dual usage of not only storing cigarettes in them, but also creating or adding to the personality of the person using the cigarette case.

The cases are made to fit various personalities and both genders.
The cigarette cases can fit filtered as well as non-filtered cigarettes. The number of cigarettes that can be stored in a case differs. Normally, they can hold up to eighteen cigarettes.
