One talent that I developed over the
years is cake decorating. It began with
Brent’s first birthday. Brent loved to
watch Sesame Street and his favorite “monster” was Cookie Monster so I decided
to make him a Cookie Monster cake for his first birthday cake. I think it turned out really well.
In the picture you will notice Brent
making a face, he hated the pine straw and pine bark at his feet yet he would not wear
shoes. He kept climbing up my side while
I was trying to hold the cake. Rob
wanted him to stand next to me for the photo.
It was quite a trick to hold Brent and the cake in place but we
eventually got the photo.
Since doing that first cake I began to
decorate all my children’s birthday cakes, then for a few years I actually
supplemented our income by making, decorating and selling special order
cakes. I made wedding cakes, anniversary
cakes all types of celebration cakes. To name a few special requests: An Elvis, a fish, a bald head, a strawberry shortcake and so many more. I never had a customer that was unsatisfied. In fact I had a few that refused to cut the cake once it was delivered to them for their party. They froze it instead.
