Getting creative in other mediums!

Posted: April 10, 2010 | by Kristine | Filed under: I talk alot, That Other Stuff

I like to think of myself as a creative person, and that’s why I love to web design! When I’m not designing websites, going to school or working outside the home, I like to explore other creative outlets that let me experiment and play creatively! I recently found the fun of baking cakes and decorating them with a stiff frosting called fondant.

My 3 kids all have birthdays in Feb and March and love it when I bake their cakes for them. They get to pick out the flavor and how we decorate. This year I turned things up a bit and made fondant decorated birthday cakes. What a Hit! The kids had a blast picking out colors for the icing and telling me what they wanted. Mackenzie requested a ultra girly creation with lots of pink. Andrew just wanted anything race car. And my oldest child Joscelyne specified that “its gotta have a lot of flowers mom!” which turned into the ultimate pre-teen “dress” cake.

The hardest part is getting the courage to cut into and eat the fun cakes! My kids are already thinking up cakes for next year and I had a blast doing it! If you haven’t tried this yet I highly recommend giving it a shot. But I’m warning you now, its a highly addictive hobby!
