Cake!

I just got done taking a cake decorating class at Michaels and here is some of my handy work....

This was my first cake, I obviously still need some practice with writing. I found out how shaky my hands really are!


Then we made clown cupcakes, they are super easy to make but I was shocked to see how much frosting went into making one!



This was my final cake. Those roses were so HARD! Not only is it difficult to coordinate your hands but that frosting is stiff so it takes a lot of hand muscle to squeeze the frosting out. I was really proud of this cake (it may not look great to some of you but I think it looks amazing!)
I would highly recommend Michaels cake decorating classes to anyone who is interested in learning how. It is a lot of fun but a lot of work too (everything is made from scratch but boy is the frosting yummy).
This Sunday (Valentines Days) is Mikes birthday so im excited to make him a AWESOME birthday cake!

Obsession

I never have anything to blog about and I really want to get better about blogging so I thought I would blog about my recent obsessions.
For whatever reason I have become obsessed with gnomes (I know creepy) it all started one day when I was wondering around a store called Boo Radley (yep the store is named after the character in To Kill a Mockingbird)and they had this huge collection of gnome stuff and it wasnt creepy gnome it was utterly adorable gnome stuff! Ever since then I seriously go out looking for cute gnomes which is actually a lot harder then one would think (lots of creepy gnomes out there). It is embarrassing to admit this latest fascination because what 21 year old likes gnomes.... I had a little gnome in the bathroom but I had to remove it because I felt like it was gazing at my naked body and I got really weirded out. But all in all I love those little gnomes (especially on cute little notebooks or cute little candles). (By the way all the gnome things I have which really is only about 3 gnome things, are all little so im not like this crazy gnomes lady or anything and they are all artsy cute looking not hey I have one of them in my yard looking... just wanted to clarify that.)

My second latest obsession would be owls. They are oh so wise looking. I have found they are rather easy to draw as well (I dont have a job yet so I get rather bored during the day). If you ever go to Barnes and Noble you will have to go to there journal section, they have loads of journals with owls on them. I have this awesome idea on how to decorate my living room and I think a little owl here or there will look just perfect.

Anyways those are my two latest obsessions!
