    my other hobby

    that doesn't pay either ;) but hey it's my other form of art

    I was pretty happy with how this turned out... it's baby shower cake for a friend who has been thru some UNBELIEVABLE life situations (in three years lost a husband, a son---in a car accident and remarried and lost their first child at 4 months--just a year ago) she's tickled pink(no pun intended) and this has been a happy and healthy pregnancy...

    Thanks for looking.

    Just as I said... Creativity cannot be held in within one genre.

    My girlfriend is a cake decorating photog as well. I find it is a good mix of hobbies.

    Nice cake,

    Cool Natalie

    This is beautiful Natalie. You're very creative and talented. Great combination ;)

    You're also sensitive and compassionate - your friend is blessed to have you around!

    ...that you liked to play with food.

    This is beautiful Nat. You are clearly as good a cake decorator as you are a photographer.

    I was just excited at how this one turned out...

    Great job Nat. I wish I knew you a few years ago! I paid a fortune for a specialty cake that didn't look nearly as nice.

    I had planned on starting with sarcasm. (You have hobbies?) :-O

    Then I read your post. Your friend is a strong woman! I am impressed with her fortitude!

    The cake is gorgeous! You have real talent girl. We know you're talented with a camera, but this is awesome. Definitely qualifies as art, IMHO!

    Wow, the cake is beautiful!

    As are your photos of the cake. It's very obvious you're overflowing with artistic talent!!

    And what a beautiful thing to give your friend. She must be an amazing person!

    I learn a lot from watching her strength and I learn to appreciate my children(and their health) a lot more.
