I recently got to pay close attention to the lyrics of the song "Try Everything" by Shekira and I was deeply moved by how the wordings of the song resonated strongly with the drive I had and still have about caking. 3 years back when I considered designing and caking for clients, I knew next to nothing about fondants, and the modern art of cakes. All I knew was the old fashioned way my mum worked her way around royal icing and as for her cake recipe.... it never stuck to my brain. So here was I, suddenly hit with the passion to sell cakes, wondering where to start and who to start with.
I tried everything starting with recognizing I needed to ask questions, pay deaf ears to those who didn't think I could, make mistakes (there were lots of them- story for another day), learn from my mistakes, never give up till I reach the end and then start again.
Here I am, three years from where I started and still trying everything. Everyone should.
