Lately my family and I have been under so much stress. There is so much sickness and just so many other things going on.  I could go on and on about what all is going wrong in my life but I won't do that to you lol. Anyways, I've needed a good way to relax and yesterday was the perfect day of all days to get some much needed stress relieved. I did some baking! I know you are probably thinking I'm crazy but I love to bake, especially decorating cakes.  It is something I really enjoy. I had the opportunity to bake my nephews birthday cake.  Afterall, Stressed spelled backwards is Dessert!


My nephew is a die hard fan of The Walking Dead so I made him this cake.  It was a white cake with buttercream icing. I used an edible image for the design......The best things in life are meant to be shared especially cake!

I enjoy baking for other people.  A lot of times I will bake something such as cake pops and deliver them to some of my friends. I think baking something or making a craft for someone is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to give a gift. I love bringing a smile to someones face. I love the gift of giving.

I would love to start making cakes and other desserts for a living but I don't have the time to do that with an 8 and a half month old who is into everything. Raylan keeps me on my toes but I wouldn't have it any other way. So for now, I will just let baking be my hobby.


What is your stress reliever?
