Today, I went to Hobby Lobby today and bought a cartload of Wilton stuff. I had the 40% off coupon so I saved $56 on a decorating set with a tool caddy. (My mom has something similar, which I have envied for a while
). Now I have everything I need tool-wise for the this class and the next two classes if I decide to take those.
DH couldn't wait for the weekend because I told him I would work on a "practice cake," just to figure everything out that I learned on Wednesday. He picked out a cake mix while we were grocery shopping last weekend, and when I pulled it out of the cupboard this evening, I realized it was sugar free. He can't have Splenda for medical reasons, so we had to toss that one and I sent him off to the store to find another cake mix. He found FOUR mixes and brought them home.
I guess there was a sale. (Do your DHs ever do things like that?
).
I am using a "classic white" cake mix with French vanilla pudding in the mix. The plan is to divide the cake into two layers, fill with vanilla pudding, and make almond/vanilla icing tinted purple (DH's favorite color). I can't make any fancy flowers or borders yet, so this cake will be plain. However, I think DH will care less what it looks like as long as it tastes good!
