1st birthday "hanbok" cake. I love how the mom asked for all pastels and came out great. Initially, hanbok cakes are pretty loud and aren't supposed to match at all.. So when she asked me to make it this way, I wasn't sure if it would look nice but this is actuallyone of my favorite ones to date.

Ok... So what to do when you have a non-fully dried/life sized heel as a topper that's shaking like a leaf, which is being delivered ALONE (by myself) on the bumpiest road ever, trying to hold the box with one hand, GPS'ing with the other and steering with my knee - all while trying to text "be right there!" AND THEN... your bumper gets tapped by the car behind you in bumper to bumper traffic... -______- Not good.
**XANAX seriously needs to come in IV form..**
On a different note, how gorgeous is this bride to be?? She's like... Americas Next Top Model gorgeous... And that clutch!
Liza Huber and her mom Susan Lucci hosted the most elegant bridal shower and had the perfect weather for it. Everyone was dressed so classy, I swear it looked like any second, Beyoncé was gonna walk in. MEANWHILE... I'm trying to find a dark corner and hide (so no one notices me) while I make sure everything made it ok. I was wearing broken flip flops, clothes with flour stains and hair looking like it belonged on Tales from the Crypt. (When is salt and pepper hair ever gonna be the in thing??) And of COURSE that's the day I formally meet Susan Lucci...
ANYWAY.. 4 heels later and after one of the most stressful drives of my life = No intravenous Xanax needed.
On a side note, while setting up, Hayden jumps on top of the table, grabs my icing bag and says: "I can help you! I'm really good at icing stuff!" o_o Noooooooooo..... Lol... I said: Let's take a picture instead. ^_^

Ok folks.. Last one for the day. I've been so busy lately I haven't even had time to take pictures of my own cakes... But I HAD TO post this one. I stole these from the mom's FB bc I MELTED when I saw it. I very rarely get to witness the child's reaction when first seeing the cake, so this truly made me happy.. The fact that I can make a child *this* happy makes me remember that I love what I do and why I do it. People don't know what goes into our job. It's not glamorous- that's for sure. It's super stressful at times and very draining.. I don't sleep from thurs-sun, usually going straight to delivery after working - to come back to start the next cake and this goes on until sun. A lot of times, i work with migraines and swollen feet/ankles and most times, forget to eat/drink or even notice whether it's light or dark out. I run into a lot of mean people who literally put me to tears but most of the time, I run into people like this. Always praising my work when I criticize myself, saying I could have done better.. Thinking I'm somebody when I think I'm a nobody, and come back to me year after year for another cake. So this just made my day.. How could you not smile looking at this? Such a beautiful family.. 😊

Oh! And this is a Shopkins Egg Character?... I had to google it.. 😣

Who doesn't love Sophia the First right?.. I think this is my 5th one to date. And the pororo era is still going strong! Lol..
Man.. I need to have a kid so I could keep up with all these characters instead of googling who they are. 😂
