The Creative Challenge

As I look back over 2012, and all I was blessed to be able to create,  it very clear to me it was a HUGE learning curve of a year! NEVER in my now 21 years of creating cakes have I been asked to do so many challenging cakes!  My primary resume of experience resides mostly in pastry and wedding cakes. When it comes to sculpting and 3D designs, I literally have no experience.  But I love how God knows our desire to become "better" even when don't know how it would happen. It humbles me greatly that my customers have so much confidence in me when they come to order,they believe and trust that I can "deliver" their special cake! These designs i have posted here are they ones that kept me up at nights, STRESSING, worrying..  can I really do them? Now don't get me wrong, they are FAR from perfect and I cant wait to look back some day and them and see how much I have evolved..but I am truly grateful, every day that I get to wake up and do what I love and have the challenge to get better at it!

Has me thinking... Shouldn't we be like that in all areas of out lives? Shouldn't we take the challenging circumstances that God puts before us as  opportunities to become more of the person He has created us to be? I think so! So 2013, bring on the creative challenges, I will stress, but only become stronger because of it! :)
