so today after school, i came home after FFA and spent nearly the entire rest of the day working on a cake for my little brother. he's in cub scouts and tommorrow is his blue and gold banquet. for the banquet their suppost to bring decorated cakes for a competition and as desert. so i spent roughly 5 hours on the cake and cleaning the kitchen, with a couple potty breaks and dinner time. but i did finally do it and i think that it actually looks pretty good for someone who a) has never made homemade fondant before and b) didn't really have a whole lot of external experience to guide me. i'll have to take and post a few pictures before it gets eaten, although if i was given the chance to take i bite, i think i'd have to pass. just being the one that made it and knowing whats in it... fondant= crisco, marshmallows and p. sugar. that sounds pretty nasty to me... so its mostly just a look at cake, for sure not made for taste. all in all i like the end product and really enjoyed creating it.
another thing that happened today, was that i found the way to not be nervous about track. i just need to be the super positive person. always smiling and complimenting, and that way hopefully people will focus and make their opinion of me based on my happy and outgoing personality rather than my track performance. i dunno, its worth a try.
well i hope it works and everything else works out too... don't know how its ever going to do that, but hey, maybe.
its super late and i'm exauhsted!
