Cake Boss

July 21 is Granny & Paw's anniversary.  This year makes 56 years of wedded bliss for my grandparents.  That also means Granny's kitchen is closed for the whole entire weekend!!!!
So I had to go elsewhere for my lesson.  Elsewhere just happens to be Sweetwise, where I, along with my teaching buddies, Amy & Heather, spent the morning (and a little of the afternoon) becoming cake bosses.  I'm usually quite modest but take a look at our beginner skills:

I know, unbelievable right?
Some [instructors] might even think we I had done cake decorating before (take that Heather!), but it really was our first time. 
We realize that most people have cakes that turn out like the following on their first go at cake decorating:

Ok, ok so the above may have been what our cakes really looked like and I may have stolen the other cake picture from cozihome.blogspot.com .

But, as our lesson progressed

we practiced

and became bosses at cake decorating.

Amy, the leaf cake boss

Heather, the flower cake boss

Me, the border cake boss

 And even though things sometimes got a bit ugly...

and 1 or 3 of us may have needed a little help saving from the instructor cake doctor,

we stepped away and took deep breaths,

and remembered to just have fun!

And before long (it may have been after a long time, I lost track of time) we were on our way to becoming cake bosses.

The Cake Bosses
Happy Birthday Heather!!!!
