It felt SO GOOD, when I put the flower over the bite patch I shaved off, that moment, i knew it was done... felt I could breathe
and like the muscles in my back relaxed. Cake decorating is a liberating experience... I think now that I started off with such a freakinggg hard project... I shouldn't have a hard time on the more 'easy' basic cakes that are circular and whatnot. I wont forget the only frustrating part - putting the fondant over the purse. JEEZ! Almost went berserk and gave up

Almost went berserk and gave upGreat job, fabulous for even a 30th came, let alone your first! For future cakes, there is a little wheel with pegs on it to roll through your fondant to get thos stiches even.
I am the same way with distractions. When I worked for others, I was okay. Now that I work for myself, I wander about and sit on the Internet half the night! Or play on my phone... I was doing a cake Friday night that should've taken about 2 hours, but after I spent 3 hours on YouTube, it was 4am before I got to bed
And as far as losing your mind from fondant, I have been there! There is nothing worse than using marshmallow fondant in zero humidity... I was literally crying! After re-rolliing 11 times and adding a substantial amount of water for each roll, I got down on my knees and prayed to God to help me. I got the 4 layer cake done half an hour before the wedding, and had to start on the grooms cake
My first guitar. The bride and groom were walking into the reception when I got there with the cakes.I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.
The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!
My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)
