A Tale of Cakes and Kiddos..

   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..
