Here is it is folks! The cake that I decorated. I think it turned out fairly decent for my first cake. Now remember, I do not eat cake OR icing, so I can't tell you how it turned out taste wise!
My husband thought it was sad that I made my own birthday cake. Yesterday was my birthday and I took the cake to work to try and push it off onto my co-workers to devour. It worked. But in explaining that I made it in class, everyone thought I was going to school to be a cake decorator.
No, No, No.
I am trying to be a writer, not a cake decorator. Okay, I am a writer, I have just never had anything published. But at this moment, I spend more time writing than I do at my paying job.
As I mentioned yesterday was my birthday, woo hoo, and I did zero writing. So I am feeling like I am lagging behind. For my Candy Havens writer's workshop, my Agenda for this week is to have 5000 words written, and I am officially behind. I hate that, but I did have an awesome birthday. Oh well, I will just have to write more the remainder of this week.
In my last post I discussed maybe a new idea involving my newly honed cake decorating skills, well I laid in bed all night dreaming up my new characters life and troubles.
Now I need to jot everything down and stick my head back into Mady's world so that I can get her story out there. In fact I just recently finished writing about her 18th birthday. I'll be honest with you, her's was a tad more eventful, but I think mine ended on a happier note.
It has been a fascinating whirlwind, and I am enjoying the roller coaster. The race to finish has been an emotional ride for me.
The end will be a breathtaking reward.
