What a weekend

Well school is finally over with this week being finals. What a relief! This weekend was very eventful, I had my work party at the Lion House friday night so after we went and looked at the lights. On saturday morning Brody, Kory, G'ma Shirley, Mom, Sue, and I all went to the SLC Temple for a session and it was fun hearing all of G'ma's "insider" stories. Later that day we went and picked out the perfect tree! Now I'm on a kick about trying to be a cake decorator using fondant. Last night was my first try and I failed. Here is why.. #1 I put 2 cakes in a convectional oven not staggered so after half hour of cooking they still were liquid and oozing over the sides. #2 When the cakes finally cooked (thanks to mom) I iced them together and noticed after I was done the top was bigger then the bottom. #3 the fondant kept breaking and I have no idea why.
Well all in all it was a fun weekened! Now the countdown is on till we head off to Cali. 16 more days!


Seeing the lights at Temple Square.


I guess the tree was extremely heavy.


In the making.. it looks a bit disgusting.


The finished product (a Christmas cake).
