@contentandwell Hi JK! Yes! Baking counts! I used to do that with my mom making fancy cookies for Christmas. My mom also taught me how to do cake decorating and make roses in icing when I was 6. I did that in 4-H and won trophies several years in a row for my fancy cakes. I used to make marzipan animals for the cakes for a picnic scene, and one year I made a Cinderella coach covered in rose vines with decorated cookies for wheels. I have also done several wedding cakes. I don't do this much anymore since I don't eat much sweets and can't eat wheat. I think a fancy dinner presentation on a plate counts too. Decorating the house is artistic and it makes you feel good to be in that space. Thanks for sharing your story.
