I mentioned this to another decorator recently as an off hand comment and I immediately felt like I’ d put my foot in it. I’ m sure I sounded dismissive- like I was rejecting the industry or coming across like I didn’ t care. But in actual fact, it’ s the opposite. It’ s because I love the industry so much that I had to put up those social media boundaries..
I still love to follow cake artists online and discover new talent, and I love a good deep-dive into cake trends when I’ m in the mood. The difference is that it’ s intentional now- I decide when I want to soak it all in. Sometimes that means not subscribing to cake accounts at all, but searching them up( manually) when I want to see what’ s new or get that spark of inspiration again.
I’ ve found that it’ s done wonders for my own mental health and creativity! Sometimes it all just gets a bit too much, ya know? Sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves, and our art, is to step away, embrace a little boredom and give our minds a moment to wander again.
