Ace of Cakes


So everyone has their secret dream job right? Maybe you're living your dream job, but chances are even if you love your life you have a secret dream of something you'd LOVE to do, LOVE to accomplish, LOVE to be good at. I'd LOVE to know what it is ;). Want to know mine?

I best most of you that know me really well would say my secret dream is to be a U.S. Senator. And you'd be right - it is my number one dream. And I'd be freakin' good at it people. Freakin' good. Maybe even White House press secretary. I'd be good at that too. Not hubris guys, just knowing my strengths ;).

But you know my even more secret dream? The one I never really share with anyone because truth is, I'm not sure I would ever be good at it? But oh how I would LOVE to be able to do it. I would love to be a world renowned chef. But not just any chef, a pastry chef. The kind that makes gorgeous, beyond belief cakes, cookies, confections of all kinds. Beautiful works of art. A veritable explosion of flavors and cutting-edge collaborations. Maybe I would even have my own reality show to highlight my fierce creations.

The only thing holding me back is my inability to branch out on my own in the kitchen - to experiment and not be afraid to fail. Oh, and my utter lack of artistic creativity. But that's it. Otherwise I would be awesome.

So I guess we're back to the first dream. Congress... here I come. And maybe if I find a way to be truly awesome, I'll bake everyone cupcakes while I'm there.

I watch Cake Boss all the time. I love baking, but I'm not good at making pretty pastries, you know? I would love to be able to do it, too. Maybe we could go into business together. :)

And you'd make a damn fine senator. Or a WH press secretary. Much better than the one they've got now, that's for sure. :)

I love it! I almost posted the exact same topic this week. For me it would be an archeologist - Indian Jones style...I don't think it's too late for either of us Senator Gibson.

You go girl! I'd vote for you and I'd order some cupcakes from you too. Good luck with your dreams.
