Couture Cakes by Rose
I will have to bore y’all with this long windy post.

For me, cake is always sweet and delicious. Undecorated, it is a work of love. heart and soul. When decorated, it becomes a work of love, heart, soul and art. Cake is meant to make people happy. It is meant to make you go “mmmmmm, delicious” when you take that first bite and will make you want to take a few more bites (unless you used salt which would then make you say yuck). It is also meant to make you go “WOW!!! That’s beautiful” even if it’s not your “kind of cake”. What it is not meant for is for it to be use as a platform for us to stalk, bash, shame and bully fellow cakers.

When we share our cake photos over social media, we should also expect that the cake photo we just shared will somehow inspire other cakers to make similar or even the same design. When we share free tutorials over the social media, we’re not just teaching other cakers how to make certain cakes/cookies/cake pops/cupcakes design, we’re in fact encouraging them to create and re-create what we just shared. When we sell tutorials, we’re also encouraging fellow cakers to create and re-create what we just sold to them.

Most of the time, the person looking at a certain cake photo will figure out how it was done without having to look at any tutorials but some of us may need guidance. That’s just the way things are. If we’re credited for the inspiration, well and good. If we don’t, then move on. The most important thing is, WE’VE inspired another soul to create something beautiful. Take pride on the fact that your work has somehow inspired many people around the world. That fact is in itself a credit, although left unspoken. Delight yourself on that unspoken credit.

When we put ourselves high up on our self created narcissistic pedestal, we’re also creating a platform for us to fall hard on.

There are more important things happening around us. More important than cake. I believe we’re all grown up, self made businesswomen/businessmen. No matter how small or big our respective businesses are, it is still ran by grown up people so I wonder if it is too much to expect that we should also act like one-grown up, respectable, mature, educated businesswomen/men. Let’s leave squabbling to our very little children who does not comprehend social etiquette. Remember, we reap what we sow and people will eventually see through that facade.

Keep creating, keep inspiring my lovelies. Hugs and loves-Rose
