ICM - Leeds Design Agency

A few months ago I wrote two posts about mine and Richard’s creative interests in photography outside of ICM. The Hobby Photographer, Richard and The Hobby Photographer, Melissa. Both posts show how we don’t switch the creativity off when we leave our desks and we can turn our hand to many different things.

A few weeks ago I decided that I would like to try and master cake decorating. I have always loved baking, so I thought, this is just the next step. So with decorating instruction book in hand (I love instructions and lists. If you have them, use them!) I sketched out my final design the evening before and made a detailed list, then took myself off to Sainsburys to purchase my required items. I evicted husband, toddler and all cats from the house so I could concentrate and 6 hours later, I was finished.

So, here is the result. I was quiet proud of myself to be honest. I will never be as good as a professional but not bad for a first proper go.

The baking bit

The roses

I made the roses and the chocolate leaves the night before.

The result

Louise

The best bit about this is that I inspired Louise to get baking and creative and I love the result.

I think we can both confirm that they tasted good as there was non left to bring into work.
Sorry!
