I decided to sign up with her because I've wanted to try my hand at it for a while. And Lee signed up too...mostly because I asked him. He claims it's because he "like[s] to do stuff with [his] wife." He's so diplomatic, isn't he?
For the last 3 weeks, we've gone to our class at Michael's, armed with frosted cakes or cupcakes, a ton of buttercream frosting (it really is a TON!) in an assortment of colors, frosting tips and bags, spatulas, towels, and an apron.
Mom K and I decorate our cakes using the techniques we've learned in class...
On the other hand, Lee's decorations are themed...
Isn't that the prettiest hammer-and-sickle cake you've ever seen?? And can anyone guess what the picture is on the cupcake located middle row, second from the right?
Needless to say, we're having an enjoyable and amusing time in this class!
Note: For all the guys out there who are worried about Lee taking a cake-decorating class, I've agreed to take a "manly" class with him soon, like auto body repair, advanced camouflage painting, or concealed weapons permit class. Don't worry--why would you be worried about someone who decorates his cakes with hammers, sickles, and silhouettes of Lenin?!?
Now for The "Eat Your Cake and Have It Too" CONTEST:
The winner of the contest will win...
...a cake decorated by yours truly! (We can't be having that much cake sitting around in our house!)
How to win:
Lee and I both like the band "Cake" (who are coming this summer!). Answer the following questions:
1) What is Lee's favorite "Cake" song? ________________________
2) What is Winter's favorite "Cake" song? ______________________

2.Stickshifts and Safetybelts
3.Walk on By
Please let me win the cake. Jared will love me for pretty much forever. Which, he has to anyway, but it'll be more justified with a winning cake!
FYI: the next Thursday, May 28 is in 2015. I don't really want to wait that long for my cake. I'm hoping you meant Thursday, May 27?
ReplyDeleteOops! Thanks for the catch Giggling Gardners! I've made the change!
ReplyDeleteAfter listening to dozens of Cake songs, I've come to the scientific conclusion that...I'll have to guess*...EXCEPT in the case of Lars, and here's why.
ReplyDeleteIn this music video for "Love You Madly", there's a cooking competition which seems to be using the main ingredient of pumpkin. (I suggest pausing it to let it load for awhile first.)

This second video, which is the first suggest link after watching the gnome video, also contains pumpkins.

As such, I believe "Love You Madly" reminds Lars of pumpkins...which I can only assume are a suitable fare for gnomes, thus making it his favorite Cake song.
