Oh, the tormenting smells...I never baked any cakes myself, but I made the edible photo pictures people would send in to have printed out on their cakes. Occasionally, when the bakery was very shorthanded, they let me put the photo sheets on the cakes or ice some cookies. Anyway, this bakery did these kinds of specialty cakes, too. Every year, Hugh Hefner ordered his birthday cake from there (you can imagine what that looked like). I watched the cake artists--and there is no other word to describe them--sculpt and fashion and design these things from scratch. The fondant (sp?) is the stuff on the outside that they color and shape like clay into all sorts of positions. It is the most AMAZING thing to see, and they were all tempermental and one-track-minded like real artists, too. They'd spend hours on something people were going to devour in a minute. <BR/><BR/>If I could have afforded one of those cakes, I would have bought it and framed it instead of eating it. Sprayed it with lacquer or something to keep it fresh...Ah, good times, good times. Except that it was a second job I worked on the weekends and I came home smelling like cookies and my kids would whine if I didn't bring any home, so I was always spending the profits and I gained five pounds...but other than that--good times. :-)<BR/><BR/>TJBTJ Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724851315229357354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-51452393183690211302008-04-02T17:01:00.000-05:002008-04-02T17:01:00.000-05:00Keri,Don't feel bad.
