Hannah's Cake

Hannah has been diligently working on yet another cake to enter in our local county fair.  The theme of this year's fair is "Fill Up On Fun."  So, she came up with the idea to have a bottle pouring things that you would associate with the fair into a cup, thus "filling up on fun."  A pretty ambitious idea and, as she discovered, difficult to execute when you are an amateur cake decorator.  However, she rose to the task and the end result turned out to be pretty great!

Cake decorating

Hannah has been practicing her cake decorating skills for 4-H, experimenting with a variety of different tips. She's an eager learner and despite her sore hand and wrist, she keeps on! We've worked on: stars, letter piping, leaves, shells, a basket weave and using those tips to make different borders. She told me today she feels that she is really beyond Level I and I had to gently explain that we've barely scratched the surface {the look of awe was very cute}!

Hannah's Easter Cake

Hannah is taking on cake-decorating as one of her 4-H endeavors this year. Here is her first cake decorating attempt {an Easter cake for our family dinner}. It turned out pretty cute!

So PrOuD!
