Gateau De Lizee :

So pretty much I spent a couple years baking and decorating cakes and got pretty damn good at it and than stopped out of the blue. I got frustrated with how much time it took me and the person that encouraged me had left and so I just stopped doing it. People kept asking why but eventually the whispers stopped and it became a thing of the past. Gateau De Lizee is a Facebook group and I had over 100 members on there that respected and acknowledged my art and passion. Everybody loved my cakes and my sister even made me thousands of business cards to go with that Facebook group. Recently, like tonight, my friend Matt messaged me about cakes and said he always wanted to order one but never had the money. Than moments later my friend Anna messaged me and said how much she’d love for me to make her Anniversary cake for her and her boyfriend. It’s been years and they still haven’t forgotten about my talent and it just makes me warm and fuzzy inside. I agreed to make their cakes for them and I hope I get more offers for them. I am out of a job right now and with all this time why not work on this “business” I once loved? It’s beautiful, maybe I’ll make these next few cloudy days a work of art. I’m excited to do this even though it bores me in a sense, but maybe I’ll get something else out of it this time. I decided I really want to adopt a Humpback Whale to go along with this Pacific Whale Foundation poster I have. I have the perfect spot for the adoption certificate and with this money from these two cakes I’ll have it in no time. I love nature, and maybe what I need to do right now is start up this business again while the economy is rough because I don’t see myself getting a job anytime soon.
