More Cake....

I was realizing that alot of my posts recently are about cakes or cakes I have made. I have to post this cake I made today, then I promise to post something other than cake decorating for a little while. I took a tiered cakes class today to learn how to assemble tiered and pillar construction cakes. Here is my final product.


Sadly, after coming home from my cake class, I have been doing homework all day long!! I just finished Financial Accounting homework that I have been doing since about 1:30-2:00 o'clock. I think my brain is officially fried. Thank goodness it is over, well at least for today.
I think it is about time to curl up with a good book, movie, and just relax!!!

Final Cake

I had my cake decorating class today and I had to make and decorate a final cake with all the techniques we had learned for this session to pass and certify. I only have one more class left to take before I can certify to be a Wilton Cake Instructor. Wahoo!

Well here it is, my final cake...and yes I did pass the class and I got my certificate of completion for Flowers and Cake Design.

Born Yesterday

I always look forward to going to Hale Theater to see a new play. I got season tickets again this year and went with a good friend, Monica to see Born Yesterday. We went to Costa Vida for dinner, always a favorite. We got a free deseret coupon and so Monica convinced me to try Tres Leches, her favorite. I had heard about this desert, but I hadnt ever tried it before last night. It was actually pretty good, very rich, but tasty. We enjoyed the play and laughed. It was fun to be able to go out with a good friend and have a break from homework, and just have a good time.

A Friendly Game of Jenga

I am a huge fan of board games, card games, actually any game. I think they are so much fun especially when it gets a little competitive. My grandpa came over for dinner the other day and I convinced him to play an intense game of Jenga with me. I love the strategy of this game. We had a fun time and because of our excellent Jenga skills and smooth hand movements; our tower was increasing in height, that is until the table got bumped and the tower fell to the ground. I am convinced that Jenga should be entered in the Summer Olympics as an event, I would definetaly join that team.

Quick Catch Up!

Well, it has been a little while since I last posted, I decided it was about time. I will give a little update on what has been happening lately. We had a great Christmas and New Years, and I have loved the snow, but I am thankful it is starting to warm up a little bit.

School started two weeks ago and as I am still searching for a job decided it was a perfect time to take full time classes and finish up my degree. Only one and a half semsters left and I can graduate from the community college. I think i will transfer up to the U to finish a Business Degree.
I am currently signed up for five classes and I hope I can handle all the work. I am really excited for my classes and I think most of them except Business Law, will be fun and interesting. :) I have Financial Accounting, Business Law, Astronomy (I love this class), Reading Contemporary Culture, and a fitness class.

I have been taking Cake Decorating classes the last couple months and have learned so much. It is really fun to learn all the techniques. I have loved every minute of it. I only have one class left to take and I can actually certify to be a Wilton Cake Instructor. Here are some of the cool flowers and techniques we have been working on. Next week we have our cake final and I will be sure to post some pictures.

(The roses are actually a purple lavender color, I have no idea why they showed up periwinkle in the picture. Weird!)

I went to Olive Garden this week with some friends from the ward. One of our good friends has been here from Zimbabwe, Africa and has to go back home this week. We are sure going to miss her. Hopefully she can come back soon. I wish I had some pictures but I took my camera and as always forgot. We had so much fun talking, laughing, and I was happy to get out and do something fun, other than homework.

In loving Memory..

My grandma passed away on Sunday night. I am so thankful for her and I am so lucky that she is my Grandma. I am so thankful for all the wonderful memories we have and for her great example, faithful testimony, love, beautiful smile, and always being there for me and my family. She will be greatly missed. I know that I will be able to see her and with her again someday.

WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA.
