Also, this is what a pregnant Busy Philipps does in her free time, I'm taking master fondant cake decorating class with Anna from 'Ace of Cakes' at Duff's Charm City Cakes. It's, like, 4 three-hour classes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The great thing about cake is it doesn't feel like work. You forget about work. Kids, adults, they all get the same look in their eye when they're decorating cakes... That's the magic right there.
If I know somebody is coming 'round, it is incredibly difficult for me to work because I'm waiting for this interruption - even the children's comings and goings are interruptions. Cake-making is a good way of coming out of that space.
Most recently, I learned another hobby: baking. It's so much fun to mix all the ingredients and to see the cake come out nice. It's so rewarding when the cake comes out great and tastes great.
Baking is about multi-tasking. If you are organized and prepared, that's half the battle.
But for the time being, I've only learned one cake recipe and how to make scrambled eggs.
As a busy working mom I'm always pressed for time, so a quick and easy beauty routine is key!
I'm a very keen baker; I pride myself on my cakes. I go along the classic sponge line, but I like to jazz it up: I've made some psychedelic birthday cakes.
My kids are always in the kitchen with me - I bring them to the bakery and let them decorate cakes, and they also try to help me and my wife, Lisa, cook dinner at night.
I'm not busy... a woman with three children under the age of 10 wouldn't think my schedule looked so busy.
I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible, and I cried for three days.
