	You're never too old to learn anything...............I went to evening classes to learn the basics on the computer and most people there were over 70............ and a few of them learned quicker than I did! LOL xx

	It's sounds a great idea if you like cake making, ...and no you're definitely not too old. Someone I know started cake decorating at about that age and it's been a great bonus for her and another interest ...and income ...after her husband had to give up work through ill health. Gwyn
