For the past ten years I’ve developed a particular interest in decorating our cakes for special occasions. I started just before my eldest daughter’s second birthday, when I decided to decorate and personalize her birthday cake. I watched YouTube tutorials and read blogs on cake decorating and learned a thing or two. Since then, I’ve been making and decorating every (special occasion) cake in the family. Everyone in the family appreciates it now, but the kids love it. Every year, just before their birthdays, they place their cake orders and tell me what they want. Regardless of how tired and busy I am, I always find time to do this for them. If you’re like me and want to add a personal touch to everything that’s important to your kids, then check out dozens of YouTube videos on cake decorating. There is a wealth of information out there for you. Don’t be discouraged if your cake doesn’t turn out the way you wanted. Remember, practice makes perfect! The important thing is that you are doing something beautiful for your family!
