i just finished making a 3 layer chocolate on chocolate cake for craigs moms birthday tonight. i decided since i was asked not to make anything weird (we can delve into this later) that i would at least decorate the top. so i used the chocolate frosting that both cover and fills the cake and smooshed it into one end of a sandwich baggie. i then spent the next forty minutes muttering "up down up down" to myself in the kitchen. i made a wavy spirally pattern thing. i think its cute. but it needs work. and thats where i am.
i have a pretty decent stack of recipes down. and my baking times. but when it comes to decor on a cake....a;flihga. i have to train myself to slow down. to breathe while i am creating. to flow. until them i will stick to cupcakes and cookies. i dont know why cupcakes are so much easier to decorate. maybe because i dont have as much room to mess up. who knows?
i did see a really great stencil for a squirrel design. now i just need an excuse to make a squirrel cake. any takers?
besides that ive started to work out again. besides my normal running ive decided to start doing some weight lifting and core building. the beach is coming in august. and i still want to go to hawaii in november. thats a lot of beach time. im not going to turn into one of those calorie obsessed fat gram counting girls. im happy with the way i am. i like this body. im just taking it to a different place.
im deeply considering becoming a ginger. i will have to make an appointment with a dear friend and see what she can do for me. until then...
this is where i am.
