Baking: Course 1 - Cake 3

Here is our grand finale cake from Course 1. We prepared a chocolate cake with chocolate raspberry frosting, decorated with dots and 7 Wilton roses. Brettany and I both practiced making the roses, but hers were better so only one of mine ended up on the cake. But, to my credit, mine was the biggest so we put it in the center.

The class seemed to fly by, but I feel like I learned a lot. Course 2, also lasting a month, starts next week and we hit the ground running.









Laughing: Adventures of Mitch


I was wading through the internets and stumbled across my new favorite blog. Entitled the Adventures of Mitch, his blog shows the perspective of a hilarious man navigating the world. He has the sharp-tongued wit of a Rolling Stone columnist, not unlike Chuck Klosterman. So far I have read about his experiences in childbirth and breast-feeding classes and the death of his beloved dog. Whatever he writes about, his tone make it light-hearted and laugh-out-loud funny.

Baking: Course 1 - Cake 2

Tonight at cake decorating class we learned how to do a shell border and drop flowers. Luckily this cake looks a little more elegant than last week's. During our practice session we learned how to make 3-d clowns, which Brettany enjoyed posing with.









Wearing: Valentine's Dress


I have the best husband ever! He asked what I wanted to do for Valentine's day, and I said I didn't care what we did as long as it was unexpected. My surprise was he would take me shopping and buy me any dress I wanted, and I could wear it out to a fancy dinner! I picked out this gorgeous blue trapeeze dress from Banana Republic. I can't wait to wear it!
