2016: year of cakes!

Undated: 6/5/2016

It seems I've been making cakes all the time lately.
It's been kinda fun to be creative that way :)
Balancing my little guys with baking at home has been challenging (especially when the little guy tries to lick the icing bowl), but it has been fun for the most part. 
Making cakes has kind of become my creative outlet. There is an emotional attachment with every cake. A story that needs to be told. A process to every layer. The joy from making someone's day. 
And of course the delight of eating your "masterpiece", lol :)
