I like to think that Music Man and I live in a hub. We live in a small town but not too small because we do have a Walmart; however, we're surrounded by bigger cities. There's one to the North, Northeast, South, and Southwest all literally about a 45 minute drive away. So we hardly ever get bored when we want to go walk around a bookstore, or mall, or have a nice dinner date. There's always a different city to choose from.
Yesterday, we headed to my least favorite, the Southwest, (where I used to commute to work before this year) mainly because I had to get my TB test checked for my substitute teacher app, but also because I was bound and determined to get some new running shoes.

Guest post on Bake Lore
Tonight I had the opportunity to be a guest blogger on my sister-in-law's blog, Bake Lore. She is a wonderful baker and very talented cake decorator. In fact, she is the baker who made my wedding cake (check out her blog banner... my cake is the featured cake!)
Since I'm an aspiring baker myself, Bake Lore asked for a story. I took a fundamentals of baking class last fall and attempted my very first decorated cake. I'm honored to be a guest blogger on her blog.
Here's a tease of my post:
I grew up with a mother who made birthday cakes. And not just any birthday cakes but decorated cakes. Wilton Startip #17 decorated cakes. I remember Cookie Monster and Birt and Ernie. Carousel horses, teddy bears, cars, and trucks. The Little Mermaid, Barbie, dinosaurs, and cupcakes. Lots of star tipped cupcakes.
Then there were the buttercream colors. Yellows and blues. Reds and purples. Greens and oranges. In all shades mind you. I loved watching her decorate, mostly because I loved sticking my fingers in that real buttercream. I never picked up a piping bag, though, until last fall.
