My mother made me wonderful cakes for all of my birthdays. I have found joy ( and a lot of stress), trying to give my family and friends something that is memorable and special. This is something that so far I just do for "fun". I am self taught, but I think just being near my mother while she created masterpieces for me gave me the confidence to jump in and never to afraid to try something new. Thanks mom.
My dear friend Leah, is a very talented baker, something which I am happy to skip. She does not like to decorate, so together we make a great team. For the sock monkey cake she made a banana cake with whipped chocolate ganache and peanut butter frosting....it was amazing. I think that a cake should taste better than it looks and Leah makes it that way
Will you make me a cake for my 30th?
ReplyDeleteOkay--you forgot to post that the recipient of the 8 yr old snow cake looked her mother straight in the eye and said "I'm sure glad I picked Claire to make my birthday cake this year" My Motherhood pride will be forever injured...but in the same breathe I'm so glad that Clair is one of MY friends. I sure know how to pick them!! Jen J
