I am the kind of person that once she start something, she wants to do it the right way, all the way. So the same is with my cake decorating life. I am always on the hunt for a new technique, a new tool, a new styl or a new artist. If you let me, i will be thinking about or doing something cake related every day, every single day. There is'nt a day that goes by without doing something cake decorating thing.
Am i the only one who takes it to whole another level? But you know what i don't care. I feel happy and relaxed about it. It became a way to let go of the the stress that is going on my life, when i am busy doing something cake decorating related i am in totally in de zone and i like that. I have said it before, i really feel as one of the lucky people who learned their true calling in life, but believe me i was made fun of, laughed at and even had people trying to pull me down by saying that i was never going to be anyone. But i believed/ believe in myself. When you know something is right, it is right for you no matter what anyone else says about it.
When i started cake decorating i had no idea, no clue that there was something as a dummy cake. A dummy cake is most often een cake with a basis made form styrofoam, so not edible. I started to pass my cakes around, everybody who know me, had to eat cake. I started talking about cake as if it where my kids i talked about. So after serveral complaints that people did'nt want to eat cake every other day, i started looking for an alternative, and found that in the styrofoam dummies.
It is pretty difficult to explain to people who don't have a passion for something, like i have for cake decorating, what that feels like., besides saying that it feels good.
Before i started cake decorating, i was going to uni, got a degree in social work and wanted to go for my Master and PHD. I wanted to work for the government to do research at the schooling system to see where i could be approved...well life did not really went that way. After my Uni degree, i was forced (due to long term, serious illness) to rethink my life, and that is okay, i feel completely at peace with it. Believe me or not but i even have cupcake tattoos.
(The tattoo says : stronger through battle (in Dutch))
