Course Two

So this week I finished course 2 in my cake decorating classes! Yay It's been so much fun these past 4 weeks. This course was all about royal icing and making new flowers.

My flowers look sooo much better in course 2 because we are using royal icing. Royal icing is stiffer and dries really hard compared to buttercream frosting. I learned how to do the basket weave it looks really cool and its not that hard to do! Next week I start courses 3 which is fondant and tiered cakes and 4 where I will be making fondant and gum paste!!

Final Cake Course One

On to course TWO yay!

Cake Classes

So 4 weeks ago a started taking Wilton cake decorating classes. I've been taking them at Micheal's craft store and its been so fun! I usually decorate my cakes with fondant and I really didn't know how to use frosting. So the past few weeks I've made a character bunny cake with a star tip.

The one and only official Wilton rose.

Then our final project was to combine all the techniques into one final cake.

My co-workers have really appreciated all the tasty desserts i've been bringing them!

Next week I start course 2 and I'm way excited to learn more flowers.

Best Choice Ever!

So the best choice I've EVER made in my whole entire life... besides marrying Marsh ;) I got LASER hair removal! So this isn't just a spur of the moment decision I've researched this for about a year and I finally decided to do it! My first appointment was on the 27Th of February and I've already seen a huge change maybe this is TMI but I haven't shaved my armpits in like two weeks! Which is awesome because the laser hurt like a mother on my armpits. So how the laser works is it kills your hair follicle then the hair grows out and is reduced when it grows back. You need to have about 6 to 10 treatments then it won't grow back at all! I went last week to get my lower half done and I'm so excited to see those results! I love thinking about never having so shave my legs again!!!!

Wedding Cake

This is Meagan's wedding cake for her like 3rd reception lol! I wish i had more time to make it look better oh well.

~Cake Making~

So Marshall and I have come up with a hobby that we both like to do. We LOVE making cakes and cupcakes! Which is odd because we both really don't like sweets and most of our creations go to waste. Marshall does most of the cleaning up while I do the decorating its a nice system lol. It all started when Marshall made a wedding cake for John Gillmore's wedding.

We then went on to making our wedding cake instead of buying an expensive one!

It took us hours to make our cake and cut out the thousand little flowers.

I think we both get our creativity from our mothers! Both of our mothers are very crafty and make everything by hand.

Practicing ha ha! This one is UGLY! Oh well that's why it's called practice

super bowl party!

..........School Again..........

So ANOTHER semester has started again... I'm started to get really sick of school. I wish is was over and now I understand why people drop out of school. Even though I'm dying to stop school my dad would KILL me if i did. I think it has more to do with the weather that sucks and it needs to be the summer time. Where I can lay out and get tan again cuz I'm so white! This is Marshall's last semester and then he will have is BS!!! Then starts again in Fall 10'. We still don't know where we are going to have to move or if he will get accepted any where... knock on wood. But i'm so proud of him and hes a wonderful husband that works hard to make me happy.
