Several years ago, in an effort to balance the rigor of my litigation practice with something light, I took a cake decorating class. I have always had a sweet tooth and particularly liked cakes. Not only are they delicious, but I enjoy looking at the various design, architecture and structure in baking magazines and in bakeries. Ironically, the woman who taught this class also worked in a law firm and sought the same stress relief from the hobby that I was looking to find. I was immediately hooked and purchased my own set of tools.
Eight years ago, when I was engaged to be married to my husband, Phil, we interviewed several bakers and I ultimately decided that I’d rather make my own cake. Our entire family thought I was insane, and I stayed up all night decorating the cake and even spent those precious few hours before the ceremony tending to last-minute cake design details.
