Dang it all, that man of mine. Sigh, now I'm gonna have to be really extra special nice to him! LOL. Just kidding of course, he's something special himself. Love him to pieces.
My mom used to do wedding cakes and specialty cakes when I was a kid. When she was done with the frosting she would give us all the tips (I'm one of 3 girls) and forsting and old bartender trays and let us pretend the tops of the trays were cakes we could decorate. She had promised to teach me but passed away before she could. I kind of just wing it and figure it out as I go. I would love to take an actual class so I could do things like flowers and get my fondant to go on smoothly. My mom always made our cakes, whatever we asked for, so I am trying to continue that tradition with my own kids. And I have fun. The Cinderella cake was for Evie's 4th birthday by the way.
This is the whole reason I am a pet groomer. It gives me a wonderful creative outlet. You wouldn't believe the fabulous things you can do in fur! The cats' stripes were actually orange, he was done a a bumblebee for a contest. I actually won 3rd place. And he is actually our cat LOL
