that magic moment

Day after day, cake after cake. Cutting, filling and frosting a cake is not what it' s all about. It's once the cake has been pre-frosted that the creation can come to life. You look at your blank canvas and a little thrill, a little stage fright sets in. You have an idea, a plan, now you must execute it. The artist within steps up to the plate ready to hit a home run. Then as if from no where you are colouring, shaping, covering things in fondant and frosting. It's happening, you're in the moment, in your element. There you are in the midst of a moment of magic where nothing else matters, nothing else even seems to exist except you and your creation. It's the moment you hoped would come where you are in complete contentment. Last Saturday while creating a birthday cake for a very dear friend I got lost in that magic moment. I hadn't't felt that content in weeks. Damn, it felt good!
