They Laughed at My Homemade Wedding Cake—Then I Cut It Open… (3 of 3)

Here’s the thing no one tells you when you’re trying to do something different: People will laugh. They’ll judge the outside, the uneven frosting, the wobbly layers. They’ll think they know what success or beauty or “right” looks like.

But they don’t know your filling.

They don’t know the effort, the courage it takes to create something real in a world obsessed with perfection.

So, to anyone out there with shaky hands and a stubborn dream—keep going. Let them mock. Let them whisper.

And then… let them taste what you’ve made.
