“The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. Don’t give up.” - Robert Tew . . Long post alert! 🚨😂 Imho, my “favorite Christmas cake I’ve ever made” has come a *long* way in a year!! 🥰💚❤️🎄🙈🥰 . It was just a few months after I made the cake on the left that I decided I wanted to start a baking blog.....but I made that decision with little baking experience and ZERO knowledge on blogging or even photography. 🙈 . . The progress I see in the shot on the right....came through *many* cakes NOT going the way I wanted. 🤦🏼‍♀️ . Through having to stop, adjust tactics, or even just start over. . Through frustration. Through long hours and late nights. Through the realization that even labors of love can still be stressful and draining. 🙈 . . But somewhere in the midst of the struggles, there was also growth. 💕 And now, looking back, there’s motivation to keep working forward. ❤️ . . So if you’re feeling the drain of struggling right now....it IS worth it. 🙌 You’re NOT hopeless. ❤️ You’re getting better. You’re getting STRONGER. Don’t give up. 👊🏻 . . Shoutout to some of the people that have had my back since I started - @millerahnz and @miller.gaylen , blog wouldn’t have made it off the ground without you! @neesha_anne and @meganchardae and mom - thanks for being awesome taste-testers and video-critique-ers! And @josephhollingworth - thank you for putting up with my frustrated-ness both in the kitchen and in front of my computer, for always supporting and encouraging me, and telling me I can do it when I don’t feel like I can. ❤️🥰💕 Love you all MUCHLY!! . . . #dontgiveup #youllgetthere #progresspic #practicemakesbetter #progressoverperfection #betterintime #foodblogger #recipemaker #tryeverything #bettereveryday #homebaker #christmascake #bakeday #cakedecorating #christmasbaking #grasshopper #whitechocolate #martinicake #growingpains #hanginthere #itsworthit 🙌👊🏻 (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnbuLshHrf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tgnomhz99nsc

FAVORITE moment of the day I dropped these off - two WIDE-eyed almost-4-year-olds staring at the cupcakes and whispering “Is that HULK SMASH?!?” 😮😮😮 . OH my gosh. TOO much adorable!! 🤗🥰😍 It was one of those moments though - you know, those moments when you’re reminded of your ‘why’? I had stressed and struggled and turned the kitchen into a *disaster zone* putting everything together, but in that moment it was all SO completely worth it! 🥰😍🥰 The prep and work and stress and cleanup didn’t matter anymore; these kiddos were SO EXCITED about their Hulk smash cupcakes!! It made my heart so happy....and it’s the thing that really keeps me addicted to baking. 😂 Anyone else? 🙋🏼‍♀️🥰😍 What’s your “why?” What are those moments that make you love what you do? Let me know!! ⬇️🤗🙌🥰 . . . . . . #toomuchcute #hulksmash #spiderman #batman #captainamerica #ironman #birthdayboys #birthdaycake #instabaking #sweeets #bakingtherapy #bakinglove #desserts #lovetobake #bakinggoals #sweettooth #instayum #treatyoself #allthesugar #bakeday #bakingforfun #nomnomnom #bakersgonnabake #foodgawker #desserttime #bakingbad #homebaker #intensivecakeunit (at The Dalles, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bra8ou_BG8x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=123n5gteeczao
