Simple Joy

Do you remember your favorite toy as a child? Mine was a stuffed horse named smoky, who a would drag around with these long legs. Now as adults we can all look back to those toys and long for the simple joy that those toys brought us in contrast to the craziness of our everyday lives.

A friend asked me if I would do a cake for her son, after his favorite toy. An airplane. He dragged this cartoon like airplane everywhere. I was thrilled, inspired.

The cake was simple- chocolate chip pound cake with chocolate Buttercream. 100% edible.

I dropped the cake off with my daughter- she asked, "if the cake could fly?" I thought about it for a second- "no, this one is for eating."

They loved the cake. He looked at the cake- looked at his toy and screamed, "plane!". This is why I do cakes- to bring wonder to people.
