My newest addiction: cake art


We had a bakeshop, and I literally grew up in a bakery. Because of our bakeshop, my parents were able to send us to school and provide for our needs. Even though it was our life, I never had any interest in learning how to make bread, so I never considered managing a branch. If I had a chance to go back to college, I could choose a course related to our business today. Anyway, it's not too late to learn new things.

I'd never thought I would be interested in cake decorating and would be addicted to it, too!

Yes, that's my latest addiction.  Because of my children, I am compelled to make and design cakes.  Special occasions feel incomplete without a cake.  Baking was not our specialty, which posed a significant challenge.  But fortunately, we live in the information age, and with the internet, you can learn a lot with just one click, so acquiring new skills is no longer an issue.  That's how I learned basic cake decoration, and now I plan to enhance my skills by enrolling in a baking school.

Here are some of the cakes I have worked on.  I do enjoy thinking of what new designs I can make.










This new found hobby is a perfect stress reliever and at the same time it makes me happy for the additional income it can provide at our bakeshop through this new found addiction.
