New Goal

Since moving in with T, my culinary side has flared up. It was her goal for me to at least know how to cook, once leaving her humble abode.
I picked up a few basics. Pizza is not under or over cooked these days. And recipes from the kraft cook books, seem to have made there way to my kitchen. I'm constantly trying to remember what we use to eat at T's house for dinner, trying to add variety in my meals. If she accomplished nothing else, at least I have the urge to try to cook.
And so brings about my new goal.

Weddings are a big talk in my group of friends. We are all getting to be that age where it is brought to the front of our minds. All of us being very artsy, we discuss colors and themes.....and of course cake.
After Mrs. Dunnet's wedding I had made one firm decision. Wedding cakes are over priced, and not worth the money. Since not that many people eat it (how ever chocolate sushi rolls are worth the money).
There`s this little cake shop on the corner in downtown. Lauraj and I walk by it often and look at the creations. and then one day I saw it..... the cake for me.


It has been my idea since seeing a photo shoot that my cousin did, to have a rainbow wedding. When I saw this cake, all illusions on not having a cake disappeared.
However I still think wedding cakes are truly over priced. Yes it takes a lot of effort, but any artist would be up to the challenge.

And so my new goal is.....................................ready for it??? ........................................ ................................................................................................................ Learn to make fancy cakes!!!!
This would benefit me greatly, I have plenty of time to perfect the skill by the time I get married. And plenty of time to by the supplies it take to make these kinds of cakes. Plus think how awesome I would be if I could create beautiful master pieces from sugar and butter! No one else in singles ward can make stellar cakes......this will be my claim to fame! lol. So stay tuned to my blog. When I am slightly less poor, I will be starting small. And trying my hand a new art form. An eatable one! wish me luck!
