I hope all is well with everyone! I have been back home from Pinehurst, North Carolina for about three weeks now. It was definitely a readjustment to come back home, in the end of living down in North Carolina I ended up really enjoying myself. When I was down in North Carolina I was used to the quiet, and being alone a good portion of the time. Now living back home I like because it is familiar, but I definitely do miss being on my own and especially weather down in Nc. I was spoiled for months being able to wear flip flops up to about three weeks ago. What I miss most about working at Pinehurst are some of the people I got to see daily and talking to them. I talk to Jessica and Adrian, both of them are some of the sweetest people you'll ever want to talk to. So I definitely plan on visiting both of them this coming year. Plus, Adrian has never been to Pittsburgh so I told him whenever he needs a get away Pittsburgh is always here. But I miss those two like crazy.
Other than that I am currently unemployed. I might be able to get a job working with a friend of mine, it would be temporary until I find another job. I wouldn't mind moving back down to North Carolina, but anywhere along the east coast would be just fine as well. But in the meantime I will be working, and baking.
When I was down in North Carolina I received an email from a friend up in Pittsburgh wanting me to make a baby shower for a friend of hers that was having a little boy. I was quite excited, because I absolutely love to do cakes more than anything, plus it gave me something to think about while down in North Carolina. The cake was for about 45 people...they wanted it to be covered in fondant...nothing to colorful but exciting. When I was think of what to do, I came up with an idea of doing ducks with bubbles. They absolutely loved the idea..so I just went with that!
The cake was white almond cake with a buttercream icing, torted with a strawberry filling.
Here it is.....
I hope everyone likes it!
Here is close up...I used some luster duster to give it some definitely on the bubbles! Luster duster is one of my favorite things to work it...it absolutely helps give you creations an extra kick! You can buy it at any Michaels Arts and Craft..or any baking shop in your area!
Coming up I have some Christmas cookies that I will be baking over the next few weeks...since I'm unemployed I have tons of time on my hands!!!
Keep posted! :D
