The Opposite Of Fitness - CAKE, CAKE, CAKE!

<b>
I know I usually post about healthy things - nutrition, workouts, exercises, motivation… Well, today I’m going to be doing the exact opposite of that.

Why? Because I have an awesome opportunity on my hands to indulge in one of my favorite hobbies - baking big-ass, sweet, delicious cakes :) 

That's right, cakes. All the sugar, all the fat, all the calories, all the carbs, and all the amazing. No healthy treats here. Not today. That's for another time. Today we go nuts!

In my opinion, the bigger, crazier, more over the top, the better! I like trying new things and making the most fun desserts possible - celebrations in themselves! 

I’ve always liked baking, and have relished the opportunity to make tasty treats for those I love, particularly on special occasions! I have so enjoyed learning new techniques, the trial and error (lots of error, but it’s the thought that counts, right?), and the development of fun flavor combinations and designs.

My most recent, and by far most challenging, endeavor was the cake I made for my brother’s wedding last Christmas Eve:

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXLQjws7s8UG2r5jdutRakxC6q8BsX2JHs2NLMy43zMbn/image.png)

Chocolate cake with passionfruit cream cheese filling, coconut cream cheese frosting, and pink flowers - everything made from scratch.

It took me a ton of hours to make this cake, but it was SO much fun! I got to learn different icing techniques, how to stack cake tiers, and how pipe different kinds of flowers out of stiff buttercream… Youtube really saved my ass - I relied heavily on the tutorials and it helped me a lot!

Anyway, today I’m starting my next big cake - my Mom’s and my sister-in-law’s birthday fall within a couple of days of each other, so I’m going to make an extra special cake for their joint celebration :)

I thought that showing a little bit of the behind-the-scenes action of this cake coming together (assuming it turns out!) might be a fun little change of pace from all things healthy - plus a little insight into the non-fitness things I like to do in my spare time…

And who doesn’t love cake!?

Stay tuned, friends! More humble cake-ing to come!

And for goodness’ sake, WISH ME LUCK!!!

Please feel free to comment, upvote, or resteem :) I hope you're as excited as I am!

"Do this. Do that. Eat healthy! How could you eat that cake? No cake, no soft drink, only fresh water. Do as I say."

I had a nightmare about a fitness coach who was telling me those things (above). That was so scary ;)

Just kidding! You know me, right? :)

The thing is, I've never thought I could read a post like that from you. :p
Fitness coach is a human like us after all. ;)

Nice work. I would certainly start licking icing.  lol
Luckily I was able to stay away from the cupcakes long enough to make a transformation this winter / spring.

I love this!! Thanks so much for sharing this real, awesome, just as interesting side of you.
It’s important that fitness influencers, like you, that we look up to let us know that it’s not all perfect and one straight line ALL THE TIME. 
We are allowed to love the good things in life hah

You are so sweet and thanks for saying that :) I am glad it was a refreshing post! A DTube video of the finished product will be on it's way in a few days!

If I was on track all the time I would go crazy! haha it is all about the balance! :)

P.S. I loved your video about Sweatcoin! Awesome idea for an app and how cool is it to get paid to walk!!! 

# For anyone reading these comments that hasn't checked out @paolajane's post from yesterday, it is a must see! Here it is: https://steemit.com/trainwithjane/@paolajane/7sbhfwaf

# And if you aren't checking out her content on a regular basis you are missing out people! It is all fantastic!

I figured bold might get everyone's attention ;)
