Tools of the Trade





Not often...but when needed, I decorate a cake for a special occasion.



And this one is for a VERY Special young lady getting married soon. She was one of my students when I taught First Grade in the Christian Day School of our church.

This little gal...was quite a HURRICANE back in Kindergarten..and I remember thinking..

"OH..MY...Here comes Hurricane Hana!"

This little whirlwind child...turned out to be the sweetest of my students and went on in her growing years and to this day...

to be a very loving, dedicated and precious Saint of the LORD.

She is a wonderful example of a young christian woman who has been obedient to her parents as also the LORD. Even while her parents have been on the mission field, she has conducted herself well and waited on the LORD and her dad's approval of the young man she is to marry. What joy it brings, when all are in agreement and the blessings of the LORD evident for everyone! Not just the bride to be..but her fiance', the families and friends.

When I decorate a cake, I rarely have any idea of what it will look like. Sometimes I draw a little plan. I drew a heart for the middle and thought a lattice would look nice...




then as I was in the midst of decorating it, I thought of some flowers I had...nice touch (don't eat!!)...I had planned on adding light green leaves..NO..just white on white will be nice...and then I added a small string of pearls to outline the inside of the heart. Voila..done. I liked it.







Whew~ forgot the photo of the exploded kitchen!!! Gotta be CREATIVE!

Oh, did I mention..I LOVE my "Kitchen Aid" mixer! What a life saver!

And..it just so happens, that in decorating her cake for the upcoming bridal shower...I decided to use no color...just white on white...and add some little touches of PEARL.

Come to find out...this is what Hana has also chosen for her Bridal Cake!! I don't know how her cake will look, but, I've been told it is white on white with PEARLS!

Fitting for her...as she is a jewel! ..and a diamond ring!



God bless you, Sweet Hana!




Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. Ecclesiastes 4:9

Blessings to all..

HOW BEAUTIFUL!

You are a lady of many gifts and talents. I do hope to pick up some cake decorating someday. I have said many times that when the kids are a little older, I want to take a class or two. This is the next thing on a long list of things that I want to be able to do.

Oh, my goodness! that cake is BEAUTIFUL! You have done a marvelous job. I have thought of cake decorating myself, but have never gotten into it. You can always eat your mistakes!! I like that sickeningly sweet wedding cake frosting...mmmmm If you eat a corner, you just about fall over.
