Finley, a 4th Grader from Virginia, is One Talented Business Owner, Baker, and Decorator
Virtual meetings suddenly became the "new normal" when the pandemic kicked in last year. Working from home is already a challenge, but those who worked from home and had kids at home most likely found this scenario more challenging. Parents, after all, have to give some of their time bonding with their kids, and working from home while managing the little ones is no joke.To maintain some balance between her work and her kids, elementary school principal Kelly Sheers created a system that informed her kids when they could interrupt her. This system involved a red cup and a green cup that indicated when she was available for her kids. But during one staff meeting in the spring of last year, Sheers forgot to flip the red cup, and her daughter Finley suddenly asked her whether she (Finley) could bake in the kitchen. Sheers, not expecting to be interrupted, replied that she could do anything she wanted as long as she would not be interrupted again. She also reminded her daughter to try not to burn down the house. Little did Kelly know that the request would unleash the inner baker in the fourth-grader.In the year since that fateful day, Finley's hobby has become a small business with orders of cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, and her baking skills have greatly improved.Read more about this story over at WTOP. For now, here are some of Finley's creations. You can also check her Instagram account for more.(Images: Kelly Sheers)#Hobby #Pastry #Baking
Laputian Robot from Ghibli's Castle in the Sky Made out of Sugar
It's not an anime figure, it's a cookie!Cookie artist duo WHIP SUGAR (@YuicihiroG) shared this icing cookie recreation of the Laputian Robot from Ghibli’s Castle in the Sky. The dilapidated soldier from the film only appeared for a short time, but people loved it regardless. The husband and wife team recreated the character as an icing cookie, complete with the smallest details! From the moss to the robot's fingertips and to the fox squirrel on his shoulder-- everything can be seen in the cookie.The intricate and dedicated craftsmanship in the pastry is so good that I thought it was an anime figure. It’s that amazing.Image credit: WHIP SUGAR #Ghibli #CastleInTheSky #WHIPSUGAR #IcingCookies #cookies #pastry #baking #anime #LaputianRobot
