Cake Decorating

You may have heard me say that I do not have a creative bone in my body and that is true. With that said . . . I have always wanted to decorate cakes. This baffles my husband since no one in our family really eats cake. In fact, our girls always had ice cream cakes for their birthdays because they don’t like cake. Even so, I dream of creating beautiful cakes. I frequently watch and absolutely love the show “Cake Boss”! The cakes are amazing and the people are so much fun. Obviously, I never expect to be anywhere near that good – but it’s nice to dream.

For years I have put cake decorating classes on my “wish list”. My husband would always shake his head and move on to the next item on the list, not taking me seriously. Once I asked why he never got me that for Christmas or whatever the gift giving occasion and he said that we don’t like cakes and I don’t like to cook so what’s the use. I must admit, there’s some to logic to that. So for the next several years I would remind myself of that and even began to omit it from my “wish list”.

In the days leading up to Christmas, Stephanie kept telling me that she was my favorite daughter and she had gotten me the best Christmas present of all. Not knowing what she was talking about, but loving her enthusiasm over her gift, I would always agree with her. Then on Christmas morning, I opened up my gift to find the long awaited “CAKE DECORATING CLASSES” and student kit had been purchased for me!! Classes start Feb. 3rd! We will see how it goes. Would love to be able to make cool cakes or cupcakes for my grandbabies!!
