Last cake class & the stake softball tourny

This past Wednesday was quite the busy day! It was my last cake class and we learned how to do the dreaded rose! All of my roses looked more like...um...carnations? Sorry no pictures, I think I still need some practice. We also learned how to do the sweet pea and a bow, which were super easy. That made me feel good after struggling with the rose. Well here is my final cake masterpiece...ha ha okay it really wasn't that hard, it did take a little bit of time though. It's a cute lil peppermint candy...

P.S. A word of caution, if you want to make red frosting, be prepared to use about half the bottle of coloring. :)
I'm sad Course 1 is over, but good news! Course 2 starts next week! When I signed up it was buy one class get one free! I get 4 more weeks of cake decorating fun/craziness.
So after class was over, Callie and I rushed over to the softball field for our stake softball tournament. The team we played was pretty good, luckily we came back in the last inning and won by 1 run! It was an incredible comeback. And they were cheating so I'm really happy we won. Yeah, cheating in stake softball...super lame!
The next night was the semi-finals and the championship. We ended up winning the semi and lost by 1 in the championship! So sad. But we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our ward has a pretty good team. Hopefully they have stake softball again next summer and we can redeem ourselves. Man am I going to miss the warm summer nights and free dinner every Wednesday night...

I meant to ask you and Cali at softball if you guys are taking the fondant/gumpaste (Course 3) in October? My sister and I took 1 & 2 together, but she's not so sure how that will work with a brand new baby at her house. It would be fun to have friends in the class!

Way to go on your Softball run - I didn't even know you were playing...did you have a "regular" season of just the championship tourney? Now I know you play - no getting out of the Big Brenchley Baseball game - time & date TBD. :)

woops! I hit the wrong key on the above comment - that should be "OR" not "of"
ALSO, Thanks for taking the boys camping - they REALLY had FUN! I'm so glad I made them take their OLD crappy shoes since they came back VERY worked over and BROWN! :)

cool cake! what do you do w/ all the cakes you make each week? is there a real cake underneath the decor? just wondering. i love cake. we got a new freezer and while i was cleaning out my mom's stuff i found our wedding cake! i thawed it and removed the layer of fondant, the chocolate cake was still so moist and DELICIOUS!! i ate it for desert that night, breakfast the next day, lunch, dinner, and desert again. :)

All your cake-talk made me think of napolean dynamite when pedro says, "you can build her a cake or something..." lol.

Ha ha, Cheryl you make me laugh. We ate our wedding cake on our first anniversary and it tasted like butt! I'm glad yours tasted good. And I'm also glad you ate it for all of your meals. There is actually a cake under the decor, although I don't know why because Trey doesn't like cake! So it's just been sitting in our fridge. Do you want me to send you some through the mail? I'll probably end up throwing most of it away...how sad.
