Internship Progress and Other Photos...

I can not believe that after this week I will only have 5 weeks left at my internship. 10 weeks has certainly gone by fast! I would like to think that my skills have improved, but I feel as though I have so much more to learn and I can not believe that we graduate in a few weeks. I would love to Martha glitter-fy my cap.

Anyways, at my internship we were still having the sale on German chocolate cakes so I had to make 6 more.

We also had to do the large decorated cookies. I like decorating these, they are fast and easy.

Another day we had to do quarter sheet cakes for the case and Connie told me to do whatever I wanted to do to decorate them. I decided to try a princess cake and OMG it ended up turning out looking like a drag queen cake. I told Connie that I needed to put a tiara and a wig on it and she added, "AND FAKE EYELASHES" well we don't have any of those things on stock so I put in some high heels and dots. AND SURPRISINGLY THIS BEAST OF A CAKE SOLD THE VERY NEXT DAY!

I tried a St. Patrick's day cake and it came out okay. It may be borderline cakewrecks worthy!

Here is a pic of the whole lot of cakes that Connie and I did...

On Sunday I had to teach a OneStroke painting class. The class was of flowers, but only using two colors. I had never painted these so here is my practice page I did before the students arrived.

Yesterday we had to decorate more cakes so here are a few pics of the ones that I did...

And in other non-cake related news Brian and I are fostering another dog. She was going to be put down just because she has pit in her. They are automatically condemned to death because of their breed. I do not think that it is fair, she is a very sweet dog and she gets along with our herd of dogs. So if anyone needs a cute sweet dog!!!

And of course Lucy's inner Tyra comes out any time there is a camera around so she just had to get in on the photo shoot action...
