I decorate cakes. Somehow, they often have a musical theme. I've done a guitar with licorice strings and a piano (well, four octaves -full size- of a keyboard, anyhow, with Kit Kat bars for the black keys and white chocolate for the white keys).

Since I work at the Zoo, Ive also done cakes shaped like most of the animals. My cakes are raffled off at our annual fund-raiser, but since I don't get the money, I guess that means it's still a hobby.

I used to do counted-cross stitch, usually my own designs, but don't seem to make much time for that anymore. Now my "fabric art" is limited to applique, mostly to cover stains on my sweatshirts and make them wearable again.
