Adotar um hobby voltado para a terapia ocupacional – como se especializar em fotografar, fazer bolos ou artesanato – é um tratamento indicado por médicos para diversos tipos de doenças. Foi o que aconteceu com Lily McLeod: depois de se formar em Artes Plásticas, a escocesa foi diagnosticada com tendinite crônica, o que a forçou a abandonar a carreira que estava apenas iniciando.

Orientada a procurar uma ocupação que a deixasse mais relaxada durante o tratamento, ela começou a fazer bolos. E a decorar bolos. E a aperfeiçoar essa decoração. Tudo sozinha, vendo tutoriais na internet. O resultado é mágico!
