I believe that told you how i started my cake obsession. I saw a decorated cake on the internet and said to myself, being pretty arrogant and not a clue what a decorated is about...i can do that...well that is not the way it works. On the other hand as long as that arrogantcy does not get the upperhand, it is okay to be sure that one day you can do what the artist does/did. As long as you understand that every artist had to start where you have to start. I love love love, sitting on my table and just go. All my tools around me, my cakes around me, the smell of sugar, some good music and i am of to my own little world of sugar. When i am "playing" i loose all track of time, of what is happening around me. I often have moments like: wow wait, it is 5 o clock allready, were did the past 4 hours go.
We all know those moments that you are ready to kill the first person who talks to you, because that thing your working on is stupid and does not what you want it to do. I had moments that it crossed my mind to sell all my stuff and never touch a cake again. That did not happen haha, because i am to hard headed for that, i want to do something, i will make it happen. Yeah, even if it makes me yelling at my fondant or cake.
How do i practice, every artist has his own of working. I love to look a other artists and their work. What would i like to learn, where do i want to be and what do i need to know to get where i want to be. Right now i am really into practicing my fondant modeling skills. I always had the idea that i sucked at make fondant figures. But after giving a try or 2 (o.ooo) i found out i am not that bad as i thought. I am not the best, but also not the worst. What i do, is breaking down a picture in compartments. The legs, the body, the arms and the head, they are all seperate parts to partice. I had days that i just practiced making hands and feet, day after day after day, until, all of a sudden i saw the light. i finally knew how to mae a real looking hand. When i want to learn how i can make something, like a disney figure or a car, is start obessesing over it, just as long till i understand it and i can make it.
Not so long ago i wanted to learn how to make the figurines from the populair kids movies, cars. I started to look at the cars, at the way other artist made them, and started myzelf. Don't be afraid to just start, the worst thing that can happen is that you have to start over again.
