  • My wife's religion is CAKE. She is devout.

    So a few years ago my wife started taking cake decorating classes at a Michael's in Vegas. She soon graduated to becoming an instructor herself until we moved back to Salt Lake. Since then she has been doing commissions for birthday parties, weddings, etc. I thought I'd post a few of her photos, mainly because she does such an awesome job:

    Here is one she did for a recent family member's birthday:


    A few weeks ago she was commissioned to do a birthday cake for a friend's kid who is obsessed with the Lego Harry Potter video game. These guys are all fondant:


    Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

    None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

    I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

    Cool. My wife had a cupcake and cake decorating business for several years. Now we can't get her to bake them for the family

    Here's a pic from a newspaper article on her and her business:

          Fondant is disgusting. It looks great, but it tastes awful. Whenever I watch that Ace of Cakes show I can't help but think how disgusting all those cakes must taste.

          That said, GL, your wife is very talented. Her work looks every bit as professional as the stuff on Ace of Cakes or those food network cake competitions.

            I agree. My cakes aren't always pretty but they always taste good.

            And yes, those cakes are gorgeous. They are very talented.
            What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

              Tastes like barely edible rubber.

                Thanks. And you're right, fondant is nasty. My wife always makes sure the actual cakes are super tasty because nobody likes to eat fondant. I always peel it off my slice before eating.

                The funny thing is, when she makes cakes for kids, the kids go crazy for the little figurines. For example:

                On the cake above, she made all the figures several days in advance of the actual cake so they probably tasted nasty and stale, but as soon as they brought out the cake all the kids were yelling "I wanna eat the cow!"
                Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                  I hear there is newer fondant that is not gross-tasting. I had a piece of wedding cake a month or so ago that tasted okay.

                  My wife's frosting is all butter. Yummmy.

                    Ask her if the teacher was a gay dude that does naked singing as his other job. My wife took cake decorating classes from Michaels last year and that was her instructor. Nice guy she said. Just likes to sing naked with a bunch of other gay guys in front of a crowd of (I'm assuming) gay guys.

                    Oh, and your wife's a pro (at cake decorating).

                      Do you know which Michaels location she was at?

                        No. I'll tell you one thing, she didn't come back with the type of skills your wife is exhibiting though.
