I AM A CAKE DECORATOR…THIS IS MY CREED

Cake Decorating means many things to me…such as:

When I ‘m working with sugar to create beauty,

It’s all fashioned with love, and not from duty

For when I’ve decorated a cake, and then at first sight,

All eyes, young and old, seem to glow with delight.

 But the delight that I’ve given, may be selfish, you see…

Because decorating that cake was rewarding…to me!!

It means wanting and working to learn

more each new day.

Then trying to help others learn more…when I may.

It means wanting to do the very best

that I am capable of.

Yet for those whose talents are greater than mine.

I’ll rejoice and pledge my love.

It means that “God has been good to me…He has given

me passion for beauty, some talent

with which to express

it…and best of all, good friends with which to share it.

 Thank  you for being my friends.
