Dear Readers,

First of all, I want to wish you a very Happy New Year and a lot of success in anything and everything you do.

It is sad to say that I have not been writing and posting articles here on my blog for a few months. It does not mean that I have forgotten you. As you all may know, I am the CEO and CoFounder of Kalmat Foundation and Co Founder of Kalmat Kinderhilfswerk. I have been very busy with the organization in holding the donation events in Sri Lanka During the end of November and beginning of December. A lot of work and time was dedicated to this cause. With the support of our donors, sponsors, partners, and volunteers, we were able to support and donate shoes, books, and school essentials to almost 500 students in Sri Lanka. Read more about the organization at http://www.kalmatfoundation.org/#about or http://www.kalmat-kinderhilfswerk.ch/#ueberuns.

Today, I wanted to share with you an article that was in the Newspaper about Carmen Lippuner-Thaddey, a lady who has dedicated her time to Cupcakes and everything there is to do with Cupcakes. She Writes; “My name is Carmen Lippuner-Thaddey, a degree in Kindergarten Childcare and a degree in Hotel Hospitality SHL/HF, I worked several years as a Key Account Sales Executive  in a (5 STAR) ART DECO HOTEL MONTANA in Luzern, Switzerland.” She goes on to say that as mother of two Girls, she loved to bake and be creative. “After my stay in USA in 2011, I immediately fell in love with the marvelously decorated Cupcakes, Cookies and Cakes. It was unbelievably to discover so many variations of these sweet treats in USA.”  Carmen has taken this cake design to heart and started her own business and offers cupcake design courses with all her valuable experience that she was able to collect and build up over the past few years. If you live in Central Switzerland, it opens the doors to a great opportunity to hop on board and attend a course or two in Cupcake making and designing. I am sure you will not have any regrets.

I hope you enjoy this article and have a great start in 2015,
