💕 35 and fabulous 💕
Wow, did this cake teach me a few things! Some of them being patience, perseverance and to listen to my gut.
The first set of cakes I baked became a flop. As I was stacking the tiers and filling them with my raspberry filling, it slowly started ooozing out the sides 🙈 this is where listening to my gut should have came into play. I needed thicker icing to hold everything up and it crossed my mind before I began assembling the cake. A lesson was definitely learned.
After trying for a while to save it, I had to come to terms with it wasn't going to happen. Keep in mind this was at 2pm and my birthday was at 7pm 🥴😳 After crying and taking a few deep breaths, I pulled up my socks and challenged myself! I rebaked and cooled more cakes, made more icing and went to town. 3 1/2 hours later I had in front of me exactly what I envisioned 🥰😍
I HUGE thank you to my husband for standing behind me and cheering me on. For hugging me while I cried and washing all the dirty dishes ❤️ I couldn't have done it without him.
Thankful it all worked out and we had a nice evening. Remember....don't ever give up! Challenge yourself, keep dreaming and giving it your all. Nothing is ever perfect and this is a reminder we all start somewhere. Mistakes are a normal part of the journey, it's how we learn.
