There are worse things to obsess about than cakes.
And really, obsess is such a strong word. It's not like I forget to bathe, or fail to feed my children. My husband (the very best of men!) has never threatened to divorce me because I spend too much time in the kitchen.
It's just that I am so fascinated by cake designs, icing techniques, new recipes...I fall asleep thinking about current and future cake projects, and wake up with new ideas every day.
This is my calling. I wish it was to cure cancer, or achieve peace in the Middle East, but it's not. I am called to cake.
And really, wouldn't it be a sad world without cakes? They mark the milestones in our lives. The Christening cake, birthdays, First Communion, Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Quinceaneara, Sweet Sixteen, Graduations, Engagement, Showers, the glorious Wedding cake, 40th, 50th, Retirement, 80th, 90th, 100! Imagine any of these celebrations without a cake.
I am well on my way to achieving an ambition of mine, which is to make the wedding cake of someone whose Christening cake I also did. Only a few more years to wait!
Why this blog? I have 2 marketing majors in my family, my kids. And they tell me this is indispensable to modern business. I am also, (Lord help me) going to be on Facebook, and Twitter. I don't even know that that is, but we paid top dollar for their busness educations, so I am going to take their advice and join the 21st century.
