Hello! My name is Julie McElhiney and I love to create cakes for friends, family, or maybe even YOU. I have many hobbies and interests which include painting, creating figurines out of sculpey clay, playing violin, crocheting, knitting, scrapbooking, making jewelry, and doing pretty much anything crafty. I was born in Illinois and moved to Ohio with my family when I was eleven years old. Currently, I live in Akron, Ohio with my husband Brian. Our musical hobbies and heritage keep us involved with the Irish and Scottish community in the area. If you are ever looking for a bagpiper let me know as my husband has been one for more than 10 years.   You can check out his site at www.akronpiper.com. I love sharing my crafts and projects with others. It gives me so much joy to create something and know that others really appriciate what I've made. I hope that you enjoy this site and continue to come back to see the updates. As always, if you have any questions or would like me to design a special cake for you, feel free to e-mail julie@icingprincess.com. God Bless, Julie McElhiney
