I am really excited about this because I have decided to try and write my first ebook. Many of you have said that I should write a book, and I must admit a real book would be fantastic. But since it is my first time “writing” I have thought of just starting off with an ebook to see if this turns out good or bad.
So I am already piled up with notes everywhere and many thoughts runs through my head at the moment. I have decided to place my energy on where my strenght is and that is to make tutorials. Everytime I post a new tutorial I get so many encouraging comments on how well detailed they are so I must be doing the right thing?
To keep it simple the first ebook will be about Easter treats and decorations. So it will not be a cookbook with recipes but more about how to make sweet decorations the CakeJournal way. I am already working on the sweetest Easter bunny cookie bouquet with a very cute bunny template and you will find insperation on how to present the treats for gifts aswell.
I hope that this sounds good? and that you are all just as excited as I am. I will do my best to keep track with email, comments and posts on CakeJournal beside my writing on my very first ebook 
Happy Caking
Louise

Hi Louise.
I think it’s wonderful that you’re writing an e-book! If you do decided to go the self-publising route, you might find this useful and hopeful article on self-published authors from the New York Times.

Hi,
Oh, so happy to hear about your decision to start the e-book. I’m so excited. I’m from the island of Guam – I love your work and appreciate all that you do.

Jan 29, 2009
That’s really exciting news – I’m happy to hear it’s an e-book as I’m over in London so it’s good to know I’ll definitely be able to get hold of a copy.
I think you’re going to have to write fast though in order to get it out in time for Easter? Have you thought about maybe including some other holidays too to make it applicable all year round?
Either way, I’m sure it will be fantastic and I very much look forward to reading it!
Best wishes,
Pooky

I’m not sure what an “e-book” is, but it seems you’ve been kinda doing that for a long time already! You will be very successful, and I can’t wait to read it!
Good luck!!!!
Just in case you don’t already have enough to do, you ought to do you-tube videos! I’d buy/subscribe to any of them…and I’d volunteer to be a proof-reader or proof-taster

Kære Louis
Alletiders ide, hvis du laver den som salg, så tror jeg at du også kan få en del danske kunder hvis du har lyst til at lave den på dansk, jeg elsker dine ideer og er tit inde og kigge på din side for inspiration.

Chrissy says:

There is a great site to publish your e-book at: http://www.youcanmakethis.com/index.htm
You then charge a fee for each person who “purchases” your e-book. Just a thought.
I’m looking forward to it. I just removed from my oven the giant cupcake cake from Wilton. I can’t wait to decorate it.
