Today was another busy one. I skipped lunch and worked a straight 11 1/2 hours preparing for my final project cake. (3 hours of that time was spent in my final gum paste class) I believe I am ready for tomorrow. The flowers are done, my basket handle is made, and the ribbon is on. I still have a TON to do tomorrow, but I confident I can get it done. I have a vision in my head. I just hope I can made my vision come to life.
Today we spent the morning doing a birthday cake. This cake is decorated with alot of the techniques we have learned over the past week and a half. It isn't your typical birthday cake. It was a great refresher and a great way to see our work on an actual cake and not on a flat board.
Not sure if I will get to post tomorrow night or not. I will do my best. The girls, my mama, and mother-in-law will be here to attend my graduation. I can't wait to see those girls. I miss them so much.
I want to send out a big shout out to all of my friends and family who helped Roy and I with the girls while I have been gone. I (we) couldn't have done this without your help and your support. I see a big thank you cake in your future. :) Also, a HUGE thanks to my wonderful husband who made this opportunity possible for me. I don't know how to say it enough, I LOVE YOU Boy!!
Okay enough mushy stuff, here are pictures from today.
