Practice makes perfect!

So my sons 4th birthday is coming up. We're throwing him a party at Chuck E Cheese.

Oh Boy.

I love to see my son happy, as does every mother, but Chuck E Cheese still makes me cringe a bit.

Ok, a lot.

But I am going to make him his cake of choice.

He has a very hard time making decisions, something he gets from me. (Sorry Kiddo!) But, he has finally chosen. A blue and orange cake (like the Broncos!) with candy on the top. Lots of candy, and lollipops, not small ones big ones.

Kids are very particular.

I found this cake video on Facebook and it had a method that I wanted to try, so I made a cake last night. No direction and no thought behind it besides-practice.

I came out with a watermelon cake 😂

The method was to put different colors of cake batter into piping bags and pipe alternating dots around the pan.

I thought it turned out pretty well and will use the method for his cake. And the watermelon frosting, well, that just kind of happened 😂

QR Codes

This week we worked with QR codes in class. This was my code: This code links to the website of the event coordinator that I am currently working for. I chose to do a flyer for her because I thought it would be good practice. I think that QR codes are extremely interesting and a very good idea. Something that you can just scan and have all the information come up instantly without having to search or go through a lot of different information. After finding out the the Twitter app has a QR code scanner built in, I have been scanning any QR code that I come across. Our professor set up an assignment in class that was a QR code treasure hunt. She taped up QR codes, each of which came up with a different link. Some were videos and some were photos. It was fun because something so simple, a black and white code, held secrets that we were excited to find out about. I think that is one of the nice things about these codes, keeps people excited, interested, and wanting to fin...

Reeses Cake

I was in the mood for a Reeses Cake this weekend so I made one, what better reason right? Dark Chocolate Fudge cake with peanut butter frosting, dark chocolate ganache and Reese's with Reese's Pieces. Nothing says love more 💕

Final Class

Well, today was the final day of my Emerging Media class. It has been one of my best classes in my long, long college career so I am a bit bummed that it is over. It is exciting to be done with the semester though (almost)! Only one semester left and then done!! This class helped me learn a lot about social media. I had been boycotting hashtags heavily since I first saw them. I still don't use them on a daily basis, however, I now see that there is a point to them. I think I will forever be irritated by people who use 20 on one post on Facebook, but when used for their intended purpose I think they are very helpful. I'm still not a big fan of Twitter, however, Instagram has grown on me. I think I will continue to use that. I like the shorter format with more graphics than words. This class also helped me realize that, though I do love to bake, it will stay a hobby. I have had people suggest turning it into a business and I have considered that from time to time. Being in ...
