I’ve been telling you
guys for years I’m weird and here’s another example of that. When most people
get stressed or their head becomes...messy for lack of a better word; they
drink or smoke or roll up in a ball and cry, I on the other hand bake.
When my mom was in
hospital a few years back I baked everyday for 3 weeks, it’s how I put things
out of my mind. Unlike blogging were you have to deal with things, baking is
just about that recipe and making sure everything that goes in is perfect so
the end result is delicious.
When head messiness
struck me this time I got lucky, it happened to be my step dad’s birthday so I got to
channel all my head messiness into making his birthday cake. And because a
normal cake is too easy (and I’m crazy) I decided to try and make my first ever
shaped cake.
I’d call myself an
above average baker but I’m no freaking decorator, I remind you of the cake I
made my mom last year. 
But I thought about
it and decided a keg is a nice easy shape and shouldn’t be too hard to manage.
So I gave it go; I don’t think the end result was too bad for my first attempt.
I’m not in love with it but I’m sure my step dad will enjoy it....mainly because
it tastes awesome. The major upside to shaped cakes is you get to eat some as
cut it away so despite its looks I know it tastes good.
So that’s how I deal
with stress and a “messy head”, what do you do? Let me know in the comment box below. And as always stay and play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
