The Continent Cake

I did not utilize my usual care and patience with this cake, to my shame. This is my last cake to rewards my students for being excellent during the 8th grade testing.

Due to other commitments, I had to do this cake in one night. I was up until 12:30 am. Thank goodness it's Friday. I hope it is a semi-reasonable facsimile of Asia.

The Girl's 10th Birthday

It's official as of Monday, I now have a 10 year old, a child in the double digits, a pre-teen. Broke down and got her a cell phone, she was over the moon with excitement. I just couldn't stand not being able to find her the first circuit of the apartment complex while she was out playing.

We are having Luau themed swimming party today. She asked for a lemon cake decorated to look like Hawaiian flowers, aka hibiscus.

The Taj Mahal

My 5th period class rose to my challenge of staying quiet while the 8th graders tested, and it was a challenge for them. They also earned a cake. They chose triple chocolate cake and asked me to make the Taj Mahal, so with icing and my limited skills I did.

Celtic Cross Part 3

Getting very close to being done. Now I have to decide what font to make their initials in and the same for the date. I also need to pick out fabric for the sides and back of the pillow.

Two, Two Updates in One

I made another cake for the March and April birthdays at work. I experimented with butter cream fondant icing. People liked it, but seemed to prefer the old-fashion butter cream icing.








I've also continued working on that wedding gift, I hope that I am able to finish it on time with my studies keeping me so busy. Luckily, the professors have had to back off on the workload, as they were giving us at least 35 hours of coursework a week. If I was a full-time student it would be fine, but everyone in this program is a full-time teacher and most have families.
