cake, decoration, postaday2016, work


I have raved about our daughter’s homemade chocolate chip cookies in the past, they are quite addictive, you can’t have just the one. This time instead of baking cookies, our daughter lent her talents to sculpting a cake for her soon to be ex-co-workers as both a going away present and good-bye. She is leaving her position at the Volkswagon car dealership which is why her cakes are decorated with the Volkswagon logo and shaped as the Volkswagon beetle. I think she did an excellent job, her little Volkswagon beetle is adorable and for someone who has never decorated cakes before, she rose to the occasion. I wouldn’t have done half as good of a job as she did, I don’t have the decorating gene in me.

I hope her co-workers appreciate the work she put into the cakes, we got to taste the odd pieces of cake that were sculpted away and the cakes were both tasty and moist. My impression is that the going away party is going to be bittersweet, I know her manager doesn’t want her to go, yet I am sure that he wishes her luck in her future endeavors. I don’t know how many workers go out of their way to bake cakes, decorate them with a special theme as a sign of appreciation and thanks for the work experience. We are very proud of our daughter.

The famous hubby designed cake for Father’s Day

My hubby was so proud with how his cake came out. He sent me a picture of it after he had cut a nice slice. It’s such a great feeling when you make something for someone you love and they rave about it, take pictures of it and eat it after each meal. I don’t know if pastry chefs feel the same high when they get great reviews from strangers, but getting all that appreciation from your loved one is the best feeling. I never have a problem making anything my hubby asks, he is the best taster and food connoisseur. I’m lucky in that way, I have quite a few friends whose families do not appreciate their cooking and it makes them very sad. Having a family that is open to new flavors and new cuisines makes cooking and life in general so much more enjoyable. My hubby is so sweet, the way he takes pride in my cooking, it makes me feel very special. I suppose this is a small love letter to my hubby for my friends to see.
