As I look back on the beginning of 2011 (which yes...it has only been one month), I realize that I've had a pretty busy year so far. At the start of the year, our cat Meeka was sick for a whole week at the vet due to complications from her surgery in December. We didn't think she was going to make it, but she is still with us as perky as she was before her surgery : ) Joey and I recently moved into a new apartment in Boise, and we are enjoying our new place even though we are still in the process of unpacking. We've also been training with the Boise Run Walk Club where we run every Saturday morning in preparation for half marathons throughout the year. It's been tough to wake up early every Saturday morning, but (as the saying goes) practice makes perfect! I've also been enjoying my new hobby of cake decorating : ) Joey bought me two cake decorating classes at JoAnn's for Christmas, and my first one just ended last week. It was sooo much fun, and I enjoyed all four weeks of it. My second class starts this week, and I am looking forward to what I will be learning!
Here are some pictures of the techniques I learned from my first cake decorating class : )
My first class we used the star tip and piping bag to make star designs on cookies.
My second class, we filled, iced, and decorated a cake using a pattern with piping gel.
My third class, we filled, iced, and decorated cupcakes.
My fourth and final class, we decorated a cake using any of the techniques we learned in the class.
It's been a busy and exciting year, and I am ready for what the rest of 2011 has to offer : )
I will continue to post pictures of the new creations I make
and my new interior design ideas : )
