Responsibilities of baking cakes - even as a mother/grandmother

People that use fondant to completely cover a cake (if applied correctly) is smooth and silky. However, personally I do not completely cover a cake with fondant for cakes for children under 3.  The fondant sticks to the roof of the mouth and can cause choking - as a mom and grandmother, I just could not bear that to happen.  You can make a very nice smooth icing and you can even use fondant for small basic decorations - as long as you tell the mom which decorations are fondant.

Some people like the taste and some don't (my husband hates fondant!). If you have ever been at a wedding and realized that people at eating the "guts" of the cake,but not the "shell", then you know they don't like it either.

When I do wedding cakes, I give the bride-to-be a chance to see which she likes best - virgin white icing or white fondant. Most flowers - well those that appear actually normal and natural - are made from gum paste...again, you either like it or you don't. I've have had brides ask me to do the gum paste flower although she knew she was not going to eat it, and the customer always wins.

My youngest daughter is getting married soon and I am so excited.  She is going to let me do her cake - and YOU KNOW IT WILL BE OUTSTANDING! Big. Beautiful. Exactly what she wants! And one thing I can promise - and you know I have to be honest I don't know why - but the taste of my cakes are remarkable. It is almost like God touched it and became wonderful. NO - I AM NOT BRAGGING!  For instanct, every single time I make home make soup, it makes enough for 2 meals in a row and 4 frozen meals. I don't plan it that way. My husband and I have always joked that God blesses us with soup!

I do hope some people will follow my blog and try my cakes, I honestly do, because again, I have no idea why, but I'm blessed with the taste or my cakes and I just want to share it.

Well have a great Friday and enjoy the weekend :)
