CAKES CAKES CAKES

One of My Hobbies

I have been wanting to post something like this for quite some time and just haven't. One of my new years goals is to blog more, since I used this as part of a journal/scrapbook, so I really want to do better. Cake decorating became a hobby of mine when I had kids and wanted to make cute Birthday cakes for them, so here are most of the cakes I have done so far. Some better then others that is for sure. My cousin asked me if I wanted to take a cake decorating class a few years ago, and it was so much fun. Prior to the class I cheated and just used the can of frosting that came with tips to do some of the decorating. (It is kind of like that can of easy cheese but it is frosting, bet ya didn't know they had that kind of frosting huh!) Now I have a bunch of cute pans that I have found here and there on clearance or yard sales and a tool box of cake decorating stuff. I really enjoy making the cakes, I am not a pro, but I do enjoy it. Tanners last birthday he said "Mom you are such a good cake decorator." My niece Brinley was over and she said, "Betsy when I grow up, I hope that I can make cakes as good as you." Those simple innocent comments sure made me feel good, and realize it doesn't matter the flaws I see in the cakes, the kids enjoy them the most and don't even see the flaws. (Isn't that true with life too! We are so much harder on ourself then we should be!) Really cake is not my favorite dessert to eat, unless it is Aunt Darla's Homeade Strawberry Cake. My favorite dessert/treat would have to be a homemade fresh peach or strawberry pie, ice cream, and cooked peach/apple pie. It was fun looking through my pictures for the cakes and seeing how big the kids are getting through the years. That night Brylee and I stayed up late looking at pictures of when she and Tanner were babies. It did get me a little baby hungary, but only for a second, because then I started thinking about carrying a diaper bag around again & potty training, that sure got me thinking straight again.
