Baking: Course 1 - Cake 1
Last night was Cake Decorating Lesson 2, but it was the first time we got to practice our techniques and practice handling the icing bags. Brettany and I prepared and decorated the cake together so we wouldn't have so much cake leftover.
For this cake we used standard piping and we used stars for infil and borders. I know, I know, it looks like our cake was sponsored by Limited Too, but the focus was technique not design. Our teacher was impressed - she said we looked very professional. Who know all the tedious drafting and model-building would help me decorate cakes? I can't wait for next week's class!
Coveting: Handbags
I couldn't help falling in love with these adorable, colorful handbags! These are so perfect for spring!
Baking: Sugar Cookies
Even though I don't get to start my cake decorating techniques until next week, I was inspired to do some light baking. I decided on sugar cookies, using my great-grandmother's recipe. The sprinkles bring out the kid in me!
Learning: Cake Decorating + Photography
I am setting out to broaden my skill set. During the month of February I am taking a weekly cake decorating class with my friend Brettany. This is just a beginner's class, but there are other classes available if I have the skills or interest. Once I figure out what I'm doing, I hope to post my progress.
Then, during the month of March I am taking a weekly photography workshop. I have dabbled in taking pictures, and I have a nice camera, but I need to learn alot more about the settings and other finer aspects of picture taking. Again, I will post my progress.

Listening: Avett Brothers Concert
Last week I, along with several friends, went to Greensboro to see the Avett Brothers. Not only are they my favorite band, but they also happen to be the namesake of my blog. Since the concert was on Halloween the band dressed up as different military officers. Most women love a man in uniform, but when that man is also an Avett, that's almost too much to handle! haha
I took this picture with my new camera. I apologize for the blurriness - I am still trying to figure out the settings.
