cake!

As you may recall, I am taking a cake decorating class. Last Saturday, we tried our hand at decorating a cake. Here is my first attempt!

I have learned so far, among other things, that cake decorating takes some patience, and I tend to run out of this about halfway through. But it is nice and relaxing, and quite enjoyable. I'm not sure if I'll take this up as a new hobby though; it seems like you can only focus your attention on either the baking or the decorating but not both. Not sure if I have the energy to do both, but for special occasions, I might whip out the piping tips and decorator bags.
