Cakes, more cakes and yeah I like to bake.

One thing that I have really been enjoying since moving into our new home is baking.  I love having the space and all of my tools at my fingertips.  No I don't charge and no I am not real keen on farming my services out but I absolutely love that within our friendship circle there is ALWAYS someone having a Birthday.  This is my last one....a treat for my sweet little girly friend, Elaina.  This kitty of course matches her sweet baby, Snowball.

This was also the first time that I had attempted to mold

fondant.  I think it went pretty good and I was pleased with
how it came out.  I cant say that I think it tasted too awesome as I think the taste of fondant is absolutely disgusting.  Hence the reason my cakes look kind of "handmade" cause I refuse to cover em in that junk.  At any rate.  I have had so much fun!  She of course loved it and had a wonderful Birthday.

I am slowly learning how to be quick and not taking 6+ hours for a cake too. My need for perfection, tho still high, has also relaxed.  Thanks to Darling, who reminds me not to sweat the small stuff.  It is just a cake after all, ten minutes with kids and all that is left is crumbs so why not just do my best and love the creations.  Sometimes, easier said that done.  However I remember my early days of baking 20+ years ago where I cried and cried over crumbling creations.  Thankfully I haven't had any catastrophes like that in my recent experiences.

Anyways, thanks for coming by.  I promise to start posting paper crafts again soon.  I have been creating up there too, but I best run for now.  I guess since I deleted my post about whats been happening with us I will need to redo that too.  So check back and I will see you all soon!
