So much talent in one room!

In the summer our Community Groups kind of go on hiatus and we split up into guys and girls and meet that way. Our girl's group does Bible study every other week and on the other weeks we do something creative or crafty. Last year we made pie, learned how to line dance and made wine charms (just to name a few). I must say, we are very well rounded women.

Last night it was my turn to host the craftiness and I decided to share the wealth of my cake decorating knowledge. I attempted to squeeze about a month worth of classes into one night. It definitely wasn't comprehensive but we had a lot of fun. There was icing everywhere (sorry for the mess, Tricia!) and because it is summer and a bit on the warm side, the icing didn't stay stiff enough to work with easily. It was very soft and floopy, but in spite of that, everyone did great. I was especially impressed with Aubree's roses. Roses are a bit challenging. It was her first time making them and in spite of the floopy icing, they looked totally legit!

I will showcase the beautiful cakes that were made for your viewing pleasure:

Kelly's cake:
(notice the detailed basket weave, very impressive! This would be a perfect cake for Easter)

Cheryl's cake:
(I love the writing, it is looks whimsical and childlike but in a deliberate way, unlike my writing which usually looks like a 5 year old did it, literally)

Tricia's cake:
(LOVE the abundance of flowers, this is just such a happy cake!)

Aubree's cake:
(Notice the very professional roses. I let her use some of my sparkle dust. If you look closely you can see that the peach roses have a gold shimmer, it is a very cool effect).

There you have it, cake decorating 101 - success! Give a round of applause for the very talented ladies! Oh, and Abby and Ellie we totally missed you!
