Favorite & Least Favorite Part of Making a Cake

My favorite is when it’s time to take pictures of the cake and I’m so happy I’m done and can stand back and admire my work for a few minutes. Followed right away by my least favorite part when I turn around and look back into the kitchen and realize I got about a hour of clean up in the kitchen before I’m actually done.

Have to be honest, covering the cake with fondant is still the most stressful part for me – I just want it to be perfect – know that it’s the blank canvas that everything else will go on! My favorite part is detail work – I could sit for hours doing that stuff! :)

My least favorite part is the shopping for ingredients, supplies, boards, boxes, etc…
My favorite part is just after covering the cake in fondant….I feel like all the hard work is done and now it’s playtime!!! :o)

My favorite parts are coming up with the design and like Loren said, right after it’s covered (either in icing or fondant). Once they’re stacked and ready to decorate is when I have the most fun. Least favorite part is not always having the time to put in to each cake that I wish I had. With a very rambunctious 2 year old running around, it gets stressful at times. I can always tell when looking back on my cakes when I had the time to focus and when I didn’t. Something I have been working on the past few months to make sure doesn’t happen any more. =)

My least favorite parts are the baking and the cleaning! My favorite parts are the planning, decorating and taking the photos!

My favorite part is the shopping, planning and most of all the detail work. My least favorite by far is the clean up!

My favorite part is seeing the customer’s reactions :D My least favorite part is trying to work on 2 or 3 cakes at once in my tiny kitchen :(

I truly enjoy decorating the cake, but I’m very stressed covering the cake with fondant – if it tears, it can bring me to tears – isn’t the English language funny?

Seeing the final product makes it all worthwhile – it’s like going through 9 months of pregnancy – when you see the baby in your arms, you completely forget everything else! Happy baking!

I hate the covering a cake in fondant or trying to ice a buttercream only cake.

I’m with Jessica…I literally LOL’d because that was EXACTLY what I was gonna say…altho, my messes usually take closer to 2 hours to clean…lol
