I don't think I will leave much in this world besides my ever growning collection of cake pans. Cake decorating has been a very rewarding hobby for me. Very artistic my whole life, I was kinda bummed when I couldn't produce the same brush strokes, line thickness, or colors that I used to. My hands just aren't as steady as they used to be. Buttercream became my medium and cake my canvas. I do have to say that My Sweet Baboo and the other lil mosnters that frequent my house don't seem to mind this a bit. In fact they really seem to enjoy it.
This weekend I managed 3 cakes. One of which was roughly 2 feet x 2 feet square, and enough to feed 100 people! The result was 3 awesome cakes and a ton of extra frosting. So personal teddy bear cakes it was! Each kiddo decorating their cake to their own unique style. I must say these kids have some pretty awesome imaginations. Every color of the rainbow. :)
Fondant is just edible playdough anyway so why not throw in a lil hands on time for the kiddos too. They had a blast. 5 lbs of fondant, edible markers, cutter, rollers, tools, and lots and lots of little hands and fingers working away. :)
So in the end I am sculpting my own lil army of cake artists. I figure the younger I start the better they will be! I can sit back and relax, and shoot me some orders to my minions. Who knows right?? If your gonna dream, dream big or go home. Maybe someday I will have that lil family run bakery...u just never know..
