I couldn’t be more excited for the weekend…My roommate Cassie is celebrating her birthday this weekend as is my friend Jess. Now, being the artistic, creative, fabulous person that I am, I have volunteered to make not one, but two cakes for the celebrations. I realize to some baking two cakes wouldn’t seem like a big deal but I don’t just bake normal cakes, I’m an “Ace of Cakes” worshiper and every opportunity I get I like to test my culinary prowess. This weekend I’m making a regular circular cake with decorations for Cassie and for Jess I’ll be constructing a 3-D nose. I also don’t just stop with carving the cakes and icing them. I also make my own, homemade fondant. For those of you who aren’t aware of what fondant is, normally it’s made from a sticky corn syrup and the taste is just horrible so I went and found a fondant that uses powdered sugar and marshmallows. Basically, I’m exhausted and I wish I have never opened my big mouth. After a tough week all I really want to do is sleep and party.
I always over-extend myself and spread myself too thin in order to please other people. Some say it’s nice that I put others before myself, but isn’t everyone entitled to be selfish sometimes? I guess today just wasn’t my “selfish” day…oh bother.
The question I pose today is this: When was the last time you said “no” and fulfilled your own desires?
I don’t know why I go to extremes…
XOXO - Maxine
