Sunday Fun

I spent a good part of this afternoon teaching our "adopted" teenage daughter how to bake and decorate a cake. When she spent the night with us last night she started talking about how she would love to know how to decorate cakes and I told her that she should try to take a class in it.

This afternoon after everyone else laid down for a nap we decided to bake a cake and teach her a little bit about decorating.

I remember when I learned how to decorate cakes. I really wanted to learn so that I would be able to make a cute cake for my daughter's 1st birthday party. I ended up taking a 6 week course at Michaels, the craft store. I learned a lot and I actually was prepared to make my daughter the castle cake I had dreamed of for her birthday party. Everyone including myself was impressed. I would recommend taking a class for cake decorating, sewing, or anything that you are interested in. They are relatively inexpensive and they are great fun.

You can usually find classes like these at Michaels, community colleges, and other craft stores. Check it out and have some fun learning something new!
