There’s a part of being a cake decorator that people don’t always see.
Most of the cakes I make are for happy moments.. birthdays, weddings, graduations, new beginnings, and all the reasons we find to celebrate. But every once in a while, I create something for a moment that feels much heavier.
This cake was one of those.
Making this for Shanee and her family was painful in a way that’s hard to put into words. I’ve realized over the years that one of the ways I express love is through making things. I bake, I cook, I create. It’s one of my love languages. Somehow, making something with my own hands has always been my way of saying, I love you. I’m here. Let me help carry a little of this with you.
So when I got there, I went straight to the kitchen. I couldn’t take away the pain or fix what happened, but I could help.
And maybe that’s one of the most meaningful parts of what I do. Cake decorating isn’t always about the happiest moments. Sometimes it’s about creating something beautiful in the middle of something incredibly difficult.❤️🩹
Sometimes, love looks like frosting, flour, and showing up. 🤍
Please keep Shanee and her family in your thoughts and prayers, and send them all the love, comfort, and strength you can as they navigate this difficult time. 🤍
