I just read something (like 5 minutes ago) that i strongly believe in. In a Dutch Interview with Ed Sheeran, the question was aksed, what would you like to say to people are searching for who they are. Ed answered with: stop searching and be yourself...amen to that bro! You are who you are and you are nobody else if you like that or not. Embrace that, embrace you uniqueness.
Now i hear you thinking, what has this to do with being a cake artist, you sound like Dr phil. Well it has everything to do with being a cake artist. I am a cake artist because that is what my heart told me to do/ be. I have told so many times that i would never become anything, i would never be good enough, i was being arrogant for thinking that i would be a good as....well let me tell you this...you are talking to wrong chick.
I have seen enough in my childhood, to make my own decisions as an aduld, and be proud of those decisions, even if nobody else is proud of my decisions. If you your heart tells you to follow a career as an cake artist, make weird cakes or just bake cookies all day...do that! Be your own boss, and in my book that means be your own you!
let me get a bit personal to make you understand how i grew to be more kind to myself and be my own boss. Growing up i (i will not get in to details) had a hard time, besides that i was bullied because i am tall and skinny, a twin, i have weird hair enough to be bullied with...as an adult i am the director of my own life, what means to me that i live it way i want. I wear 50s styl clothes, hairband, i have tattoos and pierings.
When i was a child, the grown ups in my life told me that i was everything but okay. They also told me later on in life, that this caking thing is/ was stupid and stuff. I started cakeing knowing that not a lot of people would support me. The first year was difficult, people were not interested, the would let me know that they wanted me to stop. I did not do that, even better i turned it around. If you don't like what i do, what i believe in, what i life for, than you are not meant to be in my life end of story. I started to embrace what was in me an needed to come out. About 3 years later, i have my own style of cake decorating and i love that. I love that i have ability to let my hands make, what my mind thinks and suprises me at times, well the result of that suprises me at times. I live by this rule, i am the only artist of my own life. 3 years later, I FREAKING love the art of cake decorating and my huge cake family! I made a lot of good friends in the cake world, i would not live my live anyway else.
Ps. I have this weak spot for Ed Sheeran. Ed if you read this i would like to design a cake for you! LOL.
The end of my Dr Phil like vent!
