Focus for the Month

Our purpose should really not be in trying to avoid life's challenging moments, but rather in learning to become more Christ-like as we weather those hard times, for they will come.

Cake Decorating - Course II

Below is the culmination of my second cake course. The first 3 weeks you focus on making all sorts of different kinds of flowers (that are royal icing, so they harden and you can keep them). I had to miss a week, so I dont have to full assortment that you would normally have.

The last week you bake a cake and learn the basket weave technique and some more borders. I forgot to do a bottom border on mine, so it looks a little messy, but you get the idea. You were also supposed to create a sort of garden bunch of flowers (see cake), but I actually really struggled with this, as I have a deep love of symmetry, and this was all on on side :-)
