But who is Cakes?

"Cakes" is short for Cupcaketrixx, my roller derby name.

 

Cupcaketrixxx is the combination of my love for cupcakes and my Dominatrix attitude....sweet yet sassy, delectable yet deviant.

 

Cakes is my inner drag queen, my diva, my confident - take no shit while always smiling, self.

 

Cakes is the real me, the person I wish I could be all the time....and well, the longer I am in roller derby the more I am truly me....even in my quiet office during the day.

 

Cakes reminds me to be bold, to be charismatic, to be creative and to step outside my comfort zone.

 

Cakes makes my dreams come true!  In my year of doing roller derby (1 year on skates as of Nov. 19, 2013) I have crossed more off my bucket list than I have in almost a decade.

 

Cakes is a healthier version of my old self.  Cakes works out (roller skates/cardio) at least twice a week, eats healthier, lives a more health conscious lifestyle.  I am a BBW, CURVY, FAT...whatever you want to call it, woman. This made me believe I wasn't and couldn't ever be an athlete....well guess what, CAKES IS AN ATHLETE!

 

This blog was suggested by my best friend, JT.  This is supposed to help be store my thoughts on life, and all the stress of being a career woman, with a family, doing roller derby.  I have a tendency to displace my aggression and focus stress on small, trivial areas of my life to avoid the BIG THINGS really stressing me out.

 

So, here we go.  

 

Life is sweet, with CAKES.
