Wilton Course 2 Complete and UH visit

Well I completed another Wilton course; Course 2 Flowers and Cake Design.  Here is what I learned the last 2 weeks of class

The rosebud

Wilton Rose

Violet

Lilly

Daffodil

and the basket weave

And here is my final cake for course two!  I absolutely LOVE how it came out.  It is a chocolate cake with strawberry filling.  It is covered in buttercream icing, with a basket weave, reverse shell border, and gumpaste pansies!

Next up is Course 3: Fondant and gumpaste.

We've kept ourselves pretty busy these past couple weeks!  This past weekend, we went to Houston to see my sister play in her last home games for softball at the University of Houston.  It was fun to watch her play (kinda sad it will be the last time!!) and it was SO much fun to have our WHOLE family together. I love seeing my husband interact with my family, it makes me even more sure that he is my perfect match.  My favorite part of the trip was Saturday night when all of us were sitting by the pool enjoying cocktails and each other's company.  I can't wait to see everyone again!  Here are a few pictures from the weekend

This coming weekend we are finally going on our airboat ride! Hopefully the weather holds up so we can go.  We will be seeing lots of wildlife and gators!!  I can't wait.  And we are counting down, 15 more days until we go to West Virginia! Can't wait to be on those country roads.
