I delivered another wedding cake out to Cathedral Pines today. The family of the bride was from a small farming community in Kansas, the family of the groom from Oklahoma, and they all came to Colorado Springs for the sole purpose of getting married, because they loved the area. I had been communicating only with the mother of the bride through mail and telephone calls. She had gotten my name from the manager of Cathedral Pines, and she just trusted me fully without ever meeting me personally. As I was setting up the cake, she had nothing but kind words, and was so appreciative. Then I began to think of the last several wedding cake customers I have had and how they have all been so kind and appreciate of my work. It is such a pleasure to work for them. Over the many years that I have been creating cakes, most of my customers have been kind, with the exception of only a few. What a wonderful thing it is to have people appreciate you for your talents...it makes it a joy to work. It makes me realize how fortunate I am to have a job where I can use my creative skills to bring others joy!
