Is it normal to have motherly feelings toward a cake you just made? As a friend was leaving with the Noah's ark cake I made for her daughter's first birthday I felt like a mum parting with her child for the first time (not that I have any idea what that feels like, but I think I just caught a glimpse!)
"Did you pack your socks?"
"Don't forget to change your underwear, and if anyone bullies you, call me!"
"...I love you!"
Since my sugarpie (emphasis on sugar) walked out the door, I've had my phone right next to me waiting for it to ring. I feel like an empty-nester.
Something tells me this is not normal. Somebody help!

Alex, i'd love for you to help me! more hands = less work for me!
Vee, you can fly me over anytime, just let me know ;)
That turned out really well. It looks really cute as a 2D cake.
I've had the same feeling watching a cake go out my front door. The last one I made for someone else though, I had more of a feeling of relief to have it out of my hair.
Thank You Very Much, Tamela - Kezia.
It was with naiveté that we could resist not celebrating her birthday. We were waiting in anticipation for this cake and were definitely WoWed with how gorgeous it was! It was a perfect compliment to a beautiful occasion.
You are a fantastic!!

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Tamela!
I didn't know you had this blog, but I think I need to subscribe now! I love your creations and blog entries... I must admit, I do miss Sunday mornings - Nothing better than some deliciously baked goods and New Church! :)
Sending your "baby" out into the world is probably easier than watching it rot in the refrigerator.
You have an amazing talent. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Marcus! Great hearing from you, we miss you heaps!
