My Career and Hobbies.... in Cake!

I was asked by a friend how I would describe myself in a cake - would it be different designs on a cupcake, a carved cake or an tall wedding-ish type cake?

I thought long and hard about this one.  I wanted to really portray my career and hobbies.  Aside from running my custom cake business, I also spend half my time as a Personal Trainer.  Fitness is also a big part of my life, I have done many marathons and triathlons (including 1 Ironman so far).

Here is what I came up with to describe my career and hobbies in a cake:  Cake designer, blogger, personal trainer and cyclist.  Everything is edible and handmade out of sugarpaste.  The bosu ball is actually a very small cake.  This cake also doubles as a handy business card holder too :-)      Tell me, what would your cake look like?

Love this! Mine would have to be of course, cake, cookies, then dogs, and flower gardening. This would be a fun cake to make!
Your cakes are awesome!

My cake would look VERY similar to yours. Change it to blonde hair, a red cake and running shoes instead of bike tires, done and done! I am LOVING this cake idea. For my b-day maybe I can convince my husband to find me a cake that describes me...

This is awesome! I never really thought about what "my" cake would look like. Now that I think about it ... there would be a LOT of components: cake (of course), knitting, books, video gaming, cooking, typewriters, chips, coffee, cats ... to name just a few!

Your cake is awesome! It's great to get an insight into who you are! My cake, hmmm... Cupcakes, laptop, treadmill, whiteboard (as I'm a teacher) & piano! What a combination!

I love it! Oh oh mines would have my family, cats, and a steel pan because my Trini roots, my favorite video game Metal Gear, combats boots, an apple because I'm a MAC! Sci/Fantasy books with dragons, fairies, gnomes, dwarfs, hobbit orcs, Ring Wraiths... oh and cook books, I love to cook, music from jazz to Heavy Metal long live Metallica! Tubes of paint and paint brushes, my first love is in painting & drawing and fine arts... come to think of it that would be one big honking display of a cake! Maybe I can do one for my 10 year anniversary next year.

You've already done my stunning "motorcycle cake" but I would add on books, Lucy, and flowers from my garden next time....next March maybe?

Thank you so much for stopping by to comment and sharing your own cake ideas. I hope you get the opportunity someday to make your own "life in cake" or someone makes one for you!

Julia - I was going to make running shoes, but it was about 2am and the bike tires were easier :-)

The Cakerator - That would be one awesome cake!

Rosemary Writes - Absolutely! And I would also add in a pen & paper for all your writing.

Pink Little Cake said...

This is the most beautiful cake! You got me thinking, I do have to doo that one day, I cake just for me and about me!!
Have a great week.

Jennywenny said...

How fun! I should really try and do something like this myself. At the moment, there would be some of my day job, chemistry, in there, lots of cycling, a little bit of gardening and lots of cake decorating!

Deeva said...

If this is not the cutest thing. My cake would of course have baking/cooking articles on it, a sewing machine and fabric, arts and crafts, a camera, and music. It would also have some skull and crossbones for that rebel side of me.

Meravigliosa!!! :-)

Love that idea, I'll see if I can come up with some creation. Wish I had time for the personal fitness though. I am going to start a new gym regime next month, and increase the size of my fondant batches to 20lb!

This is so adorable!

I love this!!! Soooo cute- mine would have me standing over my counter, in one of my many fave aprons (the latest being the cupcake apron from SITC2) in my indoor running shoes,lululemons, standing on a gel matt and watching a movie- absolute favorite way to work...and most likely a glass of wine hidden off to the side :)

SweetThingsTO said...

Thanks for the new comments!

RoxicakesJen - yes, I think most of us would have that hidden glass of wine :-) or double espresso on those late caking nights.
