Adventures of the last few days :)

Over the past few days I've done lots of fun things :)

Last weekend we went home and relaxed, try to blue stephs hair, watched Walle and enjoyed good company!
This week I've been enjoying being busy at work as it a busy busy time of year trying to get every phone prepared for the coming of the residents. This monday will be my last monday working full time, and I can't wait to be done and start classes! Its been a very very long summer, fun but long. I'm looking forward to classes, friends and more frequent trips to the valley. Of course I've been doing baking over the past few days as well, and testing out some new methods with the gum paste!
Here are some highlights from the last few days!

This is the cake that almost didn't survive, because it almost was thrown at the floor lol. (several times) I finished this one at home last weekend with steph and mom!


These are the lovely flowers outside Minimoes! The grounds people at X have done an EXCELLENT job this summer, so I had to take a picture to show everyone!


Pika snoozing on scotty with his tongue sticking out... priceless!


Last night we went out to celebrate our SECOND last friday at work! Prepping for next friday of course! And it just so happens it was fishbowl friday, so we indulged! That is Raspberry Ice tea (with a kick!) It tasted like red freezies Mmmmmm.


These are the cupcakes I tried out! I used my piping tools to ice it... but sadly I didn't ahve a very good tip. So I researched post-production of this cupcakes and found a cheap set of Wilton ones perfect for icing cupcakes! Stay tuned for round two ! Notice my further attemps at icing flowers, so cute :)


This was my adventure today :)


...And this is the mess it made!



a close up :) (I'm very proud that I ended up making two... success! And learning experiences!)


And last but certainly not least, Scotty's bday present from his grandparents! An Xbox and Guitar hero III! The source of much happiness and frustration haha!
