Cake Decorating level 2

I just finished my level 2 cake decorating classes at michaels. This level you only made one cake at the end and learned how to do mostly flowers the other weeks. I really enjoyed making this cake, I love the basketweave technique and the rope border. We made the flowers out of royal iciing which makes it not really edible, more for looks.




I made this bird out of color flow iciing. Zoë got her hands on the container and broke the bird before I could put it on the cake

Zoë finished her puzzle

Zoë keeps amazing me with puzzles, she can do quite hard ones without any help. She can see just a little spot on one puzzle that matches to another quite easily. She totally forgot the words at the end of her abc's and decided to match the tune with other words so no one would notice.

Cousins

Zoë and Jayden have lots of fun when they get together, even if they fight often over toys. These pictures are from a playdate earlier this week.



Zoë, Jayden, and Dreyton dancing. I really need to get Dreyton some boy dress-up stuff.

Playing a matching game with the cards they got from trick or treating.

Zoë and Dreyton had a check-up this morning, Zoë is 39.4 lbs and 99cm (3'3"), Dreyton is 31 lbs and 89 cm (2'11").

Happy Halloween

We went to a stake Halloween party the night before, it was fun until it got way too busy.

Dreyton went as a sheriff

and Zoë was Snow White.

We decided to use a template and not carve a regular jack-o-lantern pumpkin. We did a ghost and Zoë wanted a little bat.



Getting ready for trick or treating. Zoë went as a pink poodle, and Dreyton went as a tiger. I asked Zoë a few weeks before Halloween what she wanted to be and she said she wanted to be a pink puppy. I figured I wouldn't be able to find a warm costume like that so we went looking for something else and I was glad when I did find a pink puppy for her.

Just about to put some make up on before heading out.

I didn't get very many pictures of actual trick or treating, it was hard enough catching up to Zoë.
