Here Come the Clowns


Thursday was week three of my Wilton class. This week we worked on the second part of the rose, shell border, and making cartoon faces. I really enjoyed making the teddy bear face. We also worked on some of other flowers like the star flower and the spiral flower. I really enjoyed making the spiral flowers. This week I had the right consistency of my medium icing that is used to decorate with.

This week we had the option of bringing a cake or cupcakes. I chose to make cupcakes. Besides being cute, they are just easier to make. We had to use the clown heads for this cake. My mom had saved some of my from my clown cake when I was young and I recycled those, but I had to purchase some more. You know what they look exactly the same. I guess why mess up a good thing. My instructor taught us how to make the pretty swirl that you see on the cakes at the grocery store. I love knowing this skill. I think it makes your cupcakes look so pretty. We then learned how to make the body of the clown. They take alot of icing, but are so darn cute. I think that I enjoyed making so much that I just kept making them in class. This week I was not tired when I came home from class that I finish making all of my clown cupcakes on Thursday night. The clown cupcakes are just so cute...it is a shame that they have to be eaten.

Next week is our final week where we get to put all of our learned skills to to the test. Wish me luck with my final cake.

Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...
