shells, roses, and star flowers

these are things we learned this week - in addition to faces, and creepy clowns. the clowns, i have to admit, actually came out pretty cute. you know, for clowns.

here are a couple of pics of my cake this week - decorated for the intended eaters. a bit more slapdash than last week, admittedly...but i definitely needed the practice with my borders and flowers. there's still one more type of flower that i can't quite get and it's driving me bonkers! next week i graduate from course one!!!


i use almond flavor in my icing. highly reccommended.


all this talk of cake, while mister sketch takes a nap after ALL that hard work he's been up to:


uh-oh, he's awake! YOU let him out this time!!!!!
