Cake!

Tonight was the last night of the first level of my cake class. I begin level 2 next Monday. It has been sooooooo much fun! Here is my cake that shows off several techniques that I have learned. Far from perfect, but I'm learning. I learned tonight that roses are not my friend, LOL. I added them to my list along with shell borders. I guess that just shows me what I really need to work on. Making things UNIFORM. It's hard!! But fun too.
My cake totally stood out, but I liked the color and think Aaron will too :) It was the only cake without pink roses. The boys are always excited the day after my cake class to sample stuff! I am only making one cake for level 2, a basket weave one.

Fimo Wall-E

Derrick took Dallin to see "Bolt" this afternoon. Dallin has been dying to see it since Aaron and I went last week. Yesterday when they were talking about going, Aaron wanted to go again. I told him that he needed to stay home with me since he might still be sick. He said that he would bring his blanket, juice, and puke bowl with him to the theater, LOL. I don't think so. He wasn't too happy about that, but came to terms with it this morning and was fine with staying home. So we did a little activity.

We used FIMO dough and made a little Wall-E. Aaron made the trash that he is holding between his arms as well as some "batteries" on the back that he said Wall-E needed :) I love FIMO dough. It comes in all sorts of bright colors and is easy to work with. Bake @ 265 for 30 minutes and it lasts forever! After it was baked, I added some details with a permanent marker. We've made all sorts of little things from FIMO. It is a little spendy, but holds up great to being dropped etc. We use it for little projects that the boys want to play with over and over. Anything else can be made from salt dough or play dough and just thrown away. After Wall-E was cool, we played "Hide Wall-E" and took turns hiding him in different places in the living room.
