Making fondant cupcakes reminds me of playing with playdough. Reminds me of my childhood. The difference is when I was a kid I could design any shape I wanted, no one will comment on the messy and unstructured work and no one will judge my creativity. Good or bad everything will look cute to my Mom and Dad! But now it's a different thing. I have a problem making things presentable because frankly, I am not a creative person. I can still design any shape I want but I feel all the designs have to be neat and presentable and of course colors and sizes have to be matched as well.
Being creative is a big deal for me especially when you are in the cake business. It's like I was lost in the beginning and got stuck in the middle and ended up with nothing. I often get stuck and am in a rut when I am thinking theoretically, aah..how lucky to be born creative... but I think it's also not too late for me to train myself to be creative and artistic, to realize those awesome ideas I have in my head. I will take my time, and time will prove I don't have to be born creative to be creative!
