My new hobby....

During the month of May, I took a cake decorating class. It was so much fun and I learned that I might have a talent for this kind of thing. Maybe one day I will open my own bakery or something. I think that would be fun! I am planning on taking the next course in August with a friend, so I will learn how to work with fondant. I am super excited about that!! Icing is great, but you open up a whole other world of creativity once you learn to use fondant. Here are some pictures of my cakes.


My friend Kristy was getting married....so I decorated this one for her.


This was the cake we decorated in the second class, so I used it at Michael's birthday party too....there was too much cake though, so it went to work with Mike.


This was Michael's actual birthday cake. There was only 1 piece left....I ate it and it was good! :)


This was my last cake and probably one of my favorites! I was very pleased with how it turned out!

Wow!

I just looked at the date of the last post and it was APRIL 27TH!! I hadn't realized it had been so long since I blogged. What a crazy couple of months it has been. Michael had his 1st birthday, Mike is about to have surgery to have his gallbladder removed, we are still trucking through school, trying to be business owners, and live life to the fullest with Christ at the helm (I guess that is the right term....I am not a boater, so if I said it wrong, I apologize) :) It's been a busy but exciting and fun couple of months. My little man is walking and we are in swimming lessons! He is a handful, but he is a good boy and usually listens. He loves exploring and walking everywhere! He is a cutie pie. I also have been trying out some new recipes, so I will be posting those soon! We have cut out preservatives and are trying to buy organic fruits and veggies.....it's a little more expensive, so we have had to limit it to that and milk for Michael. We want to give him the best foundation for health when he is older. Anyway, here are some pics of Michael the past couple of months. :)
