Rose Nail #7

Last night was my third cake decorating class and this week, it was a bit more challenging. We learned how to make really beautiful roses out of frosting... except they were really hard to actually make really beautiful. The steps really didn't seem that hard, but since it's so awkward to hold the frosting bag, apply just the right amount of pressure AND twist a slippery rose nail so the frosting magically changes from a lump of pink to gorgeous petals, I felt like it was taking me forever to get it right. Since I'm such a perfectionist, this was even more of a challenge for me and I ended up dumping about six roses back into the frosting bowl. By the end though, I was able to semi-figure it out keep about half of the ones I made. Everyone in the class was asked to leave our roses behind, so I'm assuming we'll be using them to decorate our cakes next week. (That's right - we're really decorating cakes next week!) I think I might try making some more roses tonight and putting them on some of the leftover cupcakes from my "burgers." I'll post pictures if they come out OK.

In other baking news, how is anyone supposed to come up with original baking ideas these days? I feel like all the truly creative and delicious ideas are already taken. I was trying to think of something new to make and I came up with the idea of making sweet potato cornbread muffins with bacon... except, it wasn't all that original of an idea. A google search resulted in a bunch of recipes just like it. Back to the drawing board, I guess, but I'm wondering - have you come up with any recipe ideas that were really original? If so, send some creative vibes my way!

Twentysomething Words

My name is Amanda and I'm a twentysomething. To some, this may seem young. To me, it's a whole new world. These are my thoughts on life, the world and surviving that enivitable quarter-life crisis.
