When I was younger, I took a cake decorating class with my mom. It wouldn't be until later in life, when I would realize that I had a passion for cake decorating.
I moved to a small town in West Texas a few years ago and got hitched with the girl of my dreams. Since I didn't know anyone, I had to find ways to occupy my time. The jokes started with, 'I want to be your first husband to decorate a cake for your grandma'...
A birthday cake is a simple way to make someone feel special. Most people buy them these days, and it seems to be a dying art. My mom always made us the coolest cakes, and I hope one day to pass this on to our kids (should we ever be so lucky).
