I posted this picture for a reason. And it’s not because I
want you all to say how wonderful this looks, so creative and etc. Because we
all know it’s simply OK at its best. And I’m good with that. But the wigglie
will love it. He will remember it and it will mean something to him.

There are some of you out there that would never try to
tackle this cake because of your perfectionist mentality. You think you would
never do a good enough job. Well, I must say in my mind my creation was much
grander than what the end result was. I can dream big but the executions
sometimes lack. But, I continue anyway.
And that’s what I want to encourage you to do. Too many sit
still and shove their dreams back into their pillowcases because they will
never be able to do it good enough. Whether we are talking about a cake, a
design choice for our house, a business opportunity, a ministry or any other
dream, fear of failure stops us in our tracks.
Stop stopping!
My goodness the world is waiting for your ideas. And when
you think it through what would be the worst thing that happened?
My projects have been dumped in the waste basket, laughed
at, made fun of, confused people, embarrassed myself and family and the list
goes on. But guess what. I’m still here. Imagine this - some of my ideas have
been a huge success!
Here are a few of my hits and misses as far as cake
decorating goes. I will tell you one thing – the person receiving the cake
totally loved every lopsided, disproportion mess I’ve made.

| The first time I made this snake cake I had a mouse in the snake's mouth to hold it open - this time I covered the mouth with a leaf because I couldn't get it to look right and the leaves are draped over other goofs. |

| This has been the kids favorite hands down - Wigglie #3 wanted a toilet with a turd in it. Notice how poorly the toilet is made and the proportions? The kids never did. |
As you can see my ideas far surpass my skills but the Wigglies couldn't care less.
