Keeping Busyish...

In the life of summer sales I don't get to see Cam much. But luckily there are other wives out here that help pass the time. Besides my cake class I have...

Gone to an indoor water park in Erie PA with Megan

Met up with my sis-in-laws in Pitt for lunch

Gone to the Columbus OH Temple with Megan and Jessica


And various birthday lunches with the girls in our office. (I always forget to take a pic though)

This weekend we are going down to the Pitt Office on Sunday to see the rest of Cam's family. It will be nice to see everyone! And of course, Max will get to see his girlfriend Journee!! He has been pretty bored here with just me.

Cake-O-Licious

I have been taking a Wilton Cake decorating class at the JoAnns by us. I have played with piping and different tips, but have always wanted to take a class to learn technique! And I finally had a reason to by all the decorating tips and actually know what I am supposed to do with each one!!

The first week we mainly learned about making icing, preparing our supplies, and the nitty gritty stuff. Then, we practiced the basic star tip on some cookies....

Our second week we had to make a cake, tort it, ice it, and decorate it. I made a carrot cake and thought cream cheese frosting would be yummy. I found a recipe for Wilton Cream Cheese and thought it would work - it was pretty soft, so I had to make do with what I had.

This week we learned some different flower techniques, then practiced icing cupcakes! I was really excited to learn how to swirl cupcakes!! We also learned how to fill cupcakes. I probably could use some practice. When I finally cut into one of mine, it was pretty skimpy on the filling.

Next week we are making a another cake and learning to do the roses...we will see how they turn out!
