Now We’re Rockin’ – Week 4 – Ready for Digi in Deep?

Posted by DeAnna Allan

Okay, so I stayed up until 1 am last night (this morning, I guess!) so I could finish week 4 before Digi in Deep starts. Today I have to make 2 batches of icing, bake a cake and put the base coat on it in preparation for my final Course 2 cake decorating class tomorrow night. We are apparently going to make our cakes look like this absolutely beautiful creation of basket weave, rope border, and tons of royal icing flowers. I’m not sure how I’ll manage to do it. I made a cake from a recipe I haven’t tried yet last night but it rose really funny along the sides and then the middle didn’t cook properly. I think I’ll make my usual yellow cake recipe and I shouldn’t have any other trouble (I hope or I’ll be running out to the store to buy a boxed recipe!). I’m wondering if it’s the Wilton pans that are giving me so much trouble since I had a bit of the same problem (but not nearly to the degree I had last night) when making Kyle’s cake for his birthday.

I really like the two-page layout we did for Week 4, although I did re-colour the accent paper in my layout from the pink in Jessica’s layout (I have a boy, you know). Kyle’s jacket is so bright red that I didn’t like the way the pink looked so I decided to change the colour to a blue instead. I think it makes Kyle really pop, and keeps the cold feeling I was going for (he is on ice after all). I also love the white grungy border around the outside of the layout. It fit perfectly with my icy photos!

He had so much fun ice skating and I was really amazed at how well he did on his new skates. They are adjustable and only have one blade per skate (as opposed to some other training skates that have two blades to help kids balance better). He even managed to take a few steps on his own (off the ice) by the end of the afternoon. We’re hoping to get him into skating in September now that he’s 2. I hope he’ll like playing hockey!
