new skills

in an effort to spend some quality time together, vanessa and i signed up for cake decorating classes through michael's craft stores (side note: they are amazing and teach some wonderful skills.  i highly recommend).  we chose a store halfway between our respective homes, and for four glorious tuesdays in january, got our cake on.  some things turned out better than others, some people (ahem, vanessa) have a more natural aptitude towards the artistic things, but i had fun.  and definitely feel more confident the next time i have to frost a cake or cupcakes.

our first night we practiced on cookies.  


learning the art of the cupcake.  and random flowers.

my final product on the last night of class

vanessa's final class product.

I think this is marvelous and slightly delish! I look forward to fancy cake at the beach

I'm flattered you think I have some natural aptitude, but I wouldn't even have taken the class if it weren't for you, so you get triple bonus points for creativity and drive! :-)
