Just Beginning

Filed under: Cakes — Tags: , — pattycakes123 @ 3:18 am

As I was growing up and first learned to bake, there were many

mistakes made. Mistakes, I had to throw out and start again. I

chalked that up as a learning experience. Didn’t make Mom or

 Dad very happy, but, this is just the way I operate. How else are

 ya gonna learn if there are not mistakes made.  To this day, I still

 make mistakes , mistakes of all kinds, and not just in bakng.

But, as I said, this is how you learn, or your suppose to learn.

From mine, I have learned. It isn’t easy sometimes making

mistakes in baking, with the way things are in today’s world.

With the price of everything, ya really cannot afford to make too many

mistakes.  I can remember making biscuits from scratch one time.

OMG! They were hard as rocks! Even the dogs wouldn’t eat them.

Now, that’s bad. I heard about that for months.

But as time went on, I got better and better at my baking.

 Yes, I am tooting my own horn;if I don’t , who will?

But , here, where I am  from, it is a known fact that I am very good

at baking. I was called for a period of time as , The Cookie and Cake Lady.

This was through the town; and this town is very small. Most people

know me by name. I am very proud I have made such a good name for myself

when it comes to baking.

Anything I bake is loved by everyone. Most of what I bake and enter into

contest , win hands down. I always do my very best job, because the reflection

of the cake or whatever, always comes back on me.  So, I give it my all.

Living The Good Life

Filed under: Miscellaneous — Tags: — pattycakes123 @ 4:54 pm

I may not have much in possessions, but people, I am rich in other ways.

I have much to be grateful for.  I have a Christain family. My boys are sometimes

arrogant but all in all , they are good. They have big hearts  and would do anything

 for anyone , within reason.  

Worldly possessions, I may not have, But, I DO HAVE MY GOD, and he is very good to me

and my family.

He has kept us warm and dry and with food on the table.

This is sweet.  He needs a world of patience with me sometime,

 I am sometimes guilty of sliding down the hill instead of climbing

 it. But, I do get straightened out in a short order. He brings me

around to his way of thinking real quick.  I would be lost without him.

As many of you know I love to be in my kitchen. It is where I go when I feel insanity

coming into my life. Beleive me there are many insane things that enter where

they should exit. But , as I have learned over the years, life is not always easy. You just need

to find an excape and mine is baking.

My greatest passion is baking. I can say that I take great pride in what I bake, because it reflects back onto me.

I will bake until I die and then I hope my works will go on.

Baking

Filed under: Miscellaneous — Tags: , — pattycakes123 @ 5:26 pm

Baking is my passion. I thoroughly enjoy being in the kitchen.

My heart and soul I power into my baking. I take great pride in what I do.

I have to put my best foot forward when I bake for people

because it reflects on me if I don’t.  So , my best is what I do every time.

This is very important to me to reflect back and to see that I have

done my very best. My cakes and baked goods are my living;

therefore, I must put my best foot forward.

These cakes ar not for decorative purposes, just plain everyday cakes.

This is what makes them special.  My cakes and baked goods

come back on my personality.
