Pretty Pretty side of life!

So my latest cake class has me looking at cakes in a VERY different way. My teacher Kathy told me to take the flowers course and she will be the first to tell you that I argued with her. My exact statement was, "What do I need to know how to make flowers for on a boy's cake?" Mostly meant to be funny but aside from that I really enjoy that these are the kinds of courses you can take and talk back to your teacher and get away with it : ) No really though I was not up for taking this class. Then my parents bought it for me in honor of my birthday.
All of that hassle and I have to say I AM REALLY ENJOYING IT! Go figure right? LOL. So the technique is really amazing when you are doing these flowers. So now I have new enjoyment. Not that I really needed to have anymore enjoyment in this. So please enjoy some of the pics that I have attached. I will be making my final cake class cake on Tuesday.

So all of that cake class update I suppose one should be accountable for the weight loss section of my blog. I have not been to the gym since the last time I blogged. Ugh I know right! However all of that being said I have not gained any weight. I actually have lost another two lbs. Granted that isn't fab but its not a gain! Hopefully now that both boys are going to school in Aug I will be able to devote a little more time to myself!

So much time and so little to do; P

Okay so I don't know when the last time I have been able to say such a lazy statement but it actually be so true. It seems like over the last month it has been one illness after another. We are all finally feeling better so hopefully we will maintain our health for awhile.
I have been busy with cake classes though. I just finished one last week and my mom and dad bought me another one for my birthday. I am in the last class that I can take. I feel like I have been making the most out of them. I hope to now be able to sell my cakes as I feel like my portfolio has been expanded enough to get it going. My next goal is to print a few books of the cakes I have made and spread them around different locations in town. I guess it goes without saying leaving my business cards with those books :)

So this week I made a cake for a birthday party. I suppose I can tell you it was my own and a friends. The next day my husband told me that he wanted me to make him a cake as well so of course I obliged him. I have found that I really like chocolate cake over vanilla. For whatever reason chocolate cake seems to be moister and more flavorful. I would love to tell customers that white cake is not an option: ) do you think that would go over well?

My next cake is a baby shower cake that I am doing for a dear friend of mine. I am very excited about doing this one. She chose an animal theme which I have to say I love! I am a bit partial to all things boy. I like the bright colors. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

I will update again soon. I must quit typing and get some sleep at some point this evening :)
