Here is my latest cake. It was for a "shower" which I think was more a celebration for a woman who adopted a little boy. She used to work in my office before I was hired and was one of the few that made it to full-time in general counseling. So, my current coworker ordered the cake for the party. I have a feeling it tasted really good. It was chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache filling and enough chocolate butter cream to adhere the fondant.
I won second place (1st in my heart) for the cake decorating contest at my work celebrating the 100th birthday of Fresno City College (first community college in CA and second in the nation). The first place cake collapsed before it could make it to the ceremony (haha) so mine was photographed and posted on the KMJ (radio station) website. The link is below.
Here are my most recent cakes. I get lazy and don't post them. They are on my cake website too.
We sold our truck yesterday. It was depressing and I couldn't help from crying. Matt asked me if we were sure we wanted to sell it but we couldn't see that we had any other option. We just couldn't keep going the way we have been...scraping by every month...especially with the great potention of my hours being cut even more this coming semester. It was causing too much stress.
Our financial mistakes are ours alone and now we are fixing things. It is sad to lose our truck but we are looking forward to having our debts payed off and saving for a new (used) truck in the future. We will be very selective and conscience of our decisions from now on. This is a positive learning experience for us so that we can be more responsible, sensible and secure in the future.
A couple steps backward but making many more forward.
I made the cake for my mom's 60th birthday party my sister put together this past Saturday. This was my first big cake and it seemed to go off without a major hitch...especially considering the 3 hours drive to my parents and then the 40 minute drive to my sister's to assemble.
