Today was week one of cake decorating.
1 - We learned how to make an icing bag and royal icing for decorating cookies and cupcakes and doing intricate decorating. We also learned about the correct food colouring and quantaties to use.
2 - we learned how to ice straight lines
3 - using cellophane over a template we learned how to trace words

and then we were let loose on actual cakes! Here are my very poor attempts at decorating!
1 - flower icing for Anais
2 - a spiderweb for Roman
3 - Marks initials but it didn't last long enough for me to give it to him as I ate it instead ha ha! (well, they are my initials too!)
4 - all three cakes together

OK, I won't kid myself they are brilliant and I need a LOT more practice, I did find it very difficult, but I did have fun trying!
Sad news today that after Jessops and HMV earlier in the week, today Blockbuster are calling in the administrators :-(
We do use Blockbuster quite often for our Family Film Friday, the kids enjoying choosing a new film to watch. Also when they stay at mom and dads on a weekend, we'll sometimes go in and choose one for ourselves to watch. I feel sorry for all those poor souls who are going to lose their jobs :-(

Finally, I know when there is a sudden drop in temperature as I can tell on my car! This was Cassie my Picasso first thing this morning, her windscreen had frozen inside AND out so as well as scraping outside I had to scrape the INSIDE of the window too, it looked afterwards like there had been a snow storm INSIDE of the car! This happens in extreme winter when temperatures plummet so I hope the weather picks up again soon as doing this everyday is a nuisance.
