Burnt Cake

I think I'm burnt out. (Burned out??)

This week I am absolutely OVER being a pastry chef. Maybe it's the school thing. Taking up a lot of my free time and most of my energy. I'm just not feeling creative.

It could also be that every cake I make is a princess theme and I'm really sick of making pink cakes with gold tiaras. When I have children I hope we don't do a princess theme but I think my daughters are already doomed. My favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty and that's kinda the point of the story. Sigh, but I digress...

Anyway, I need a shot of buttercream to the arm or something because I. am. just. not. interested. in making another pink cake right now. Luckily I do have a cake for one of my students for Saturday - a red, white, and blue present that says "Congrats Class of 2010" on the tag. I'm only charging her face value. And while I'm thankful the cake is not pink, it's still another gift box cake and I make at least one a week these days.

Should I be complaining? No. Am I going to anyway? Maybe. If I have any readers who are tired of doing repetitive cake creations, please drop me a line and tell me how to build a cake bridge and get over it. I think I'm going to call my cake shop The Princess/Present Bakery and make a fortune by crankin' out the hits all day.

On a side note, the season premiere of "Lost" is next week and I'm thinking up a cake for the occasion. One time I made a Dharma logo cake for a friend's birthday but now I think it's time I crank it up. It's been three years since then and I've got a few skills under my belt that I didn't have back then. Hmmm. Now that's inspiring!

Namaste!
