Roses and Rosettes

So, something new and interesting is finally happening in my life. Jessie, the Cake Decorator at my work, is tranferring to another store. Which means that I am going to be the new cake decorator! I'm excited, and extremely nervous. Excited because I get to learn something new, and nervous because it is really a lot harder than it looks. So far I have learned (if not mastered) how to make rosebuds, roses, and rosettes. I have yet to master any of them, but at least I'm getting better, and not worse. Now, instead of 1 in 10 of my rosebuds actually looking like rosebuds, 1 in 5 do! Go me! Of course, there are downsides. I never really knew how much frosting could stain.... Everything. My clothes, my hands, my shoes. And, it gets everywhere. I came home from work the other day and took a shower, and I found frosting in my ear. Yeah, don't know how it got there, but it was kind of disturbing. Jessie told me that I should probably expect to find frosting in stranger places than my ear. A lot to look forward to.

DC poster

I just realized that it's been over a month since I've posted, so I decided I had better.... Well, you know, post. Divine Comedy is having a musical review/ reunion show, and they asked me to take the pictures and design the poster. I'm pleased with the results, even though this is my first poster that I've ever designed. Now I'm just worried that everyone else will like it.....
