It's been a while since I've updated this! Sorry! This whole working thing is cramping my internet habits these days.

I have pictures from Katie's birthday party (our first sleepover - which went well, considering the bad karma I should have coming my way from my own childhood sleepovers...), the visit from my family (which ended in the swine flu - three of my cousins immediately went home and became very ill - so chalk up another miracle for us that we don't seem to have caught it) and the super cute cupcakes I made for Katie's classroom, and of which I am very proud. The laptop is being wonky, though, and that's where all the pictures are, so it'll need to wait.

Work is going pretty well. I like playing with frosting, I like baked goods, I like giving cookies to little kids, so it's lucky for me that I work in a bakery. I had assumed that I would be given extensive training and time to get up to speed, but nope! My first day, I made at least 20 cakes to put out on the floor. Let me tell you, your frosting skills really made leaps and bounds when you are spending 6 hours every day doing it. I made one cake with balloons that I was not proud of - they looked very deflated. And while I can now pipe ghosts in my sleep, my very first one looked....well, obscene is what it looked like. I kept looking at it and thinking of Cake Wrecks - a blog I really love (and am not going to link to, because I don't want her to know I exist, but google it! You'll be glad you did, it's really funny!) and thinking how terrible it would be to find a picture of something I had done on there. My ghost could have made it - it was that bad. I even tried to chuck it, but we had a Halloween cake sale going on, and they needed every cake we could get out there. Oh, well.

So....I'll put up some pictures soon. Till then, amuse yourself with some of the posts over at Cake Wrecks, and pray that I may never again deserve to end up there. :)
