Cakes of all kinds!

1 Chronicles 12:40 
And also their relatives, from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came bringing food on donkeys and on camels and on mules and on oxen, abundant provisions of flour, 
cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, and wine and oil, oxen and sheep, 
for there was joy in Israel.

I have been Designing cakes for 20 years now.Way before T.V. made cake decorating so cool. 

My first job was in a bakery. I was a sales girl. My job was to help customers select delicious pastries, then package them ever so nicely so they would travel to their destination safely. My first day of work I fell in love with how everything functioned together. The sugary sweet aroma that was trapped inside the four walls was intoxicating too. (Hmmm….maybe thats why im addicted to sugar?)

Customers would come in to pick up celebration cakes and I would have to find there cake and take it to them. I was always so excited to see there reaction once they saw the frosted cake art.

I wanted in, I wanted to be the artist who got to do all this cake stuff. I had no training and no internet to go to for lessons back then. I watched and observed cake decorators and looked at tons of books and magazines. I taught myself how to make a rose. That’s where it all a started.

When Buddy says, “We’re going old school.” I know exactly what he’s talking about. Back in the day it was all about piping on the design with frosting. NO FONDANT. I was really against fondant after T.V. made it so popular. I’ve finally excepted it. It has it’s place in my cake world now. LOL.

I’ve really enjoyed creating all the fun frosting worlds that adorned the top of many sheet cakes. I couldn’t tell you how many times I have writen Happy Birthday on a cake in a rainbow of many colors. Not just cakes but pies, eclairs, donuts, and other yummy bakery treats.

After many years, and working in 5 different bakeries in 3 different states, I can say “I have had my fill of cake.” I’m ready for a new creative path, I hope it includes lots of color. 

Daily Treasures:

• I’m thankful for God giving me a creative and artistic mind.
• I’m thankful for my hands that still function properly after many years of repetitive work.
• I’m thankful for steady work.

It’s all about me, no, actually it’s not!

It’s been said before, “you can’t get away from yourself, you run to the other side of the street and there you are.”

Well that’s the truth!

I’ve battled many things. Weight, PCOS (A medical condition), being an introvert, and having a barren womb (infertile). All of these things have been the center of my life. My Identity!

BUT……here it comes……I met someone. I knew of him, but I never took the time to KNOW him until he called me February 2012. His name is JESUS.  My life has never been the same.

This blog is where I will share my journey with Him. How He has turned my sorrows into joy. Refoucused my eyes from myself onto Him. How I want to live my life in such a manner that is pleasing to Him.

Psalm 139:14 
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.

Daily Treasures:

• Jesus! The greatest gift I will ever receive! My sins have been forgiven because of Him.
• My health.
• My loving Husband.

God gave me an adventurous side too. As I try new things like: cooking, crafting, creating, and exploring the great outdoors I will share the journey.
