When my daughter announced her impending marriage, I took cake decorating classes so I could make her wedding cake. Prior to this, my mother was a professional decorator and she took care of the special occasions. After my classes, Mother never decorated another cake. She very subtly passed the baton and I found myself doing cakes for the whole family. This meant wedding cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes and don't forget the dozens of gingerbread houses. Now I've pretty much given it up as my hands are too stiff and painful. It's time to pass on the pastry bag, and the future brides of the family will have to make do with bakery cakes!
