Our Easter Lamb

We almost didn’t get it done this year but somehow we pulled it off.  Yesterday I baked the cake and this afternoon Walker iced it.  The eyes are candy disks that Walker got from Grandma for Christmas.  I can see a lot of improvement in Walker’s piping after his class this winter.  As cute as […]

Boy Scout Service

As an ongoing service commitment, Walker’s Boy Scout Troop serves food at one of the local shelters once a month.  They meet in the morning and do some food preparation before the guests arrive.

Pipe it on

Lesson two of the cake decorating class required us to bring a baked cake to class so we could learn how to divide it, level the top, insert a filling between the layers and then ice the outside.  Walker used the water bottle to spritz the cake and smooth out all the wrinkles. Meanwhile, as […]

Seeing Stars

In preparation for another 4-H cake decorating project and for fun, Walker and I are taking a class together on Friday nights at Jo-Ann.  Tonight was the first of four sessions.  The other classmates did not show up so it looks like it will be a private class. Our assignment was to bring a dozen […]
