a caking we will go

 So i used to doubt myself. I was a cook, for a family, not a chef. and a baker? never. but slowly I started to try new recipes and joined groups to share ideas. Soon i was baking up a storm. It wasn't until I learned of my own egg allergy that it all came together.
I never liked to baked because eating cake was not something I enjoyed. NOW, I love to make and decorate cakes. and even bake egg free so i can eat them too.
Making cakes has taken on a new art form for me. Fondant is like edible playdoh, letting me be a child again, making shapes to add to my works of art.
 My first wedding cake was wonderful. I thought it would be stressful, and it was a little, but it was mostly enjoyable. The best part was seeing tears of joy from the bride when we placed the cake topper on.
 What can you do with cake? Well, what CAN'T you. a boot, sure, why not?
 I remember doodling all over my binders in school and pages and pages of notebooks full of scribble. marker, crayon, pencil, chalk, paint.... What about icing? YES, now I draw in icing!
 What's next? Well, I am not sure. Let's just keep trying new things and have fun while doing it!

And... Bake a cake and EAT it.
