Tonight was the last class for my fondant/gum paste class. I was supposed to bring a cake in ready to decorate. I went visiting teaching this morning and Mike (who is done with his semester) offered to make my cake for me while I was gone. I left Eli with Mike and took the other two boys. While I was gone Mike and Eli slaved away cooking my cake.
I decided to make a winter cake. Here is the beginning of my snowman.
Then Eli decided he was such a great helper mixing the cake and cooking it that he would be just as big a help in decorating...so he stuck his little fingers in the cake.
So, I covered the holes and came up with this.
These classes have been so much fun for me to get away for a few hours a week and do something creative. Each time I end a course I wonder if I should continue on, mainly because of the time and preparation. I probably will take the last course, which begins Jan. 4th. Hopefully I'll just get better and better. I just wish I liked eating cake more.

Cindy, I don't care for fondant. Kera got the recipe for the fondant Sister Orme uses and it tastes better. If you have any cake recipes you love, send them my way because I'm trying to find a way to make the cake taste as good as the decoration.
