I like to be crafty. I love to challenge myself. I love to create art. I LOVE MY KIDS.
The one thing I've always tried my best to do since becoming a stepmother and mother is to make something special for my kids on their birthdays. A personalized cake to be specific. My beginning cakes weren't that bad ... until I tried to make a Pikachu cake years ago and the royal icing exploded over the edge. That was quite the cake fail and I was a little intimidated after that.
Years later I finally decided to take a cake decorating class. Turns out it was more therapeutic than I ever realized. Who knew feeling stressed over designing, baking and creating cakes could actually help you feel less stressed in the end? Go figure.
I present my "Before Cake Class" Cakes ... Some absolute cake fails but, I like to call "good try" cakes.
