  • .:: last cake.. ::.

    ...and i'm done with the intermediate class. i'm not sure if i learned a lot --- but there are a few techniques i'll walk away with.

    i think i may pass on the advanced class but may pick up fondant instead!

  • .:: finally...done..! ::.

    i feel like i've been working on the xmas cards slowly..since last month.   i finally finished! i think this is the last year i'll do this though.. it took too much time.   i started doing the recipe thing last year, but i think this will have to be the final one..!

  • .:: basket of flowers - cake #5 ::.

    this was a much prettier, fun cake to do, although i was suuuuuper tired. my hand was seriously cramping and i just really wanted to finish this cake right away.  i ended up doing fresh roses at classes, which were really hard to put on the cake because they were so soft. it would've been easier if i did the roses ahead and let them harden a bit -- but there's just not enough time sometimes!

    i have some bare spots on top where you can see the actual cake, and i really could've added more roses. this would probably be a cake i'd do for my mom or sister...   and next time, i'll probably just stick to the same size flower instead of trying to do different sizes.

    on the way home, the cake also ended up sliding around a bit, and my layer in between was custard, so that didn't help! so yes, my cake is slightly crooked too. lol.  you can kinda see where i tried to push it back into the middle because the basket weave is squished and flattened on the side, hahaha...

  • .:: hump day musings ::.

    (1). yes, i will complain -- although it's colder in other parts, us sensitive so-cal-ers think it's been cold. and my freakin' hair dryer crapped out on me this morning. so i had to go to work with my hair wet. *hate that*.

    any suggestions on hair dryers? i was using a T3 tourmaline dryer before.. need one - stat!

    (2). contemplating whether to do the advance cake class. it gets soooo tiring prepping! i easily can spend 2-3 hours prepping for this class.  but the final project would be a wedding cake. i think i'd rather take fondant instead.

    (3). i signed up for another photography class with UCSD extension. contemplating if i should do the entire thing and get a certificate in the whole darn thing. i don't think it'll take me long?

    (4). we put up our christmas tree this weekend! it's our first tree together..!  it's a teeny one, but cute.

    Tree

    (5). had an interesting meeting with a former-bride-internet-buddy when we were both planning our weddings off the bridal forum. she's interested in a collaboration for day of wedding coordination.  still kinda sitting on it, researching..  i really don't know what to think.  we had some great ideas -- but going forward? i feel like there's sooooo many DOC's around here. *sigh.

    (6). so yea, i'm sort of lost still on which way to go. i'm seeing another psychic this weekend -- but i'm getting an intuitive tarot card reading instead. it's supposed to provide clear insight and can help guide you. and - it's not gonna break the bank like my last one. LOL.  we'll see how it goes. i figured i'll give it another go - ahead. and he has a coupon for another free reading after this one. might as well!

    (7). been maintaining my weight since the weight loss. woot woot!

    (8).  i have been baking every. freakin. weekend. i dunno what's come over me!

    cupcakes

    (9). almost done with xmas shopping. thank goodness!

    (10).  a part of me almost wants to go into something completely different - like the beauty way. esthetician license? makeup? how fun would that be?  i always wondered how it'd be to hold a job like that.  i guess i keep thinking of all this beauty stuff b/c my eyelash extension gal and i always talk about her profession and it intrigues me in a way, lol.   which - i can't stop getting those darn extensions. so addicting!

     

    .....where i'd rather be.... 

    (morro bay, CA - central coast - a quick stop on our way home thanksgiving weekend. we had to stop at splash and firestones... hubby needed a new wetsuit.   )

  • .:: the dino cake - cake class #4 ::.

    sometimes i just giggle and chuckle to myself when i'm in this class. everything can be so phallic looking sometimes, especially when i'm piping all this frosting. maybe it's just my dirty mind.   the dinosaur neck and head? had me chuckling.   the girl next to me was using brownish orange-ish frosting, and we were crackin' up because .....yeaaaa. didn't look like it belonged on a cake. she ended up scraping it off and doing it over again...!

    i'm still a bit sick and out of it, and i realized i didn't give him a smiley mouth...
