Mom is still in full on cake decorating mode and she started making some little fondant decorations for cupcakes that will be used later this summer at my uncle's VBS. I helped out with a little bit over everything.







I also worked on my royal icing butterflies, they aren't turning out as nice as I had wished.

My mom got a job as a cake decorating instructor so she has been doing a lot of cake related things lately and now I've cought the bug again. I'm trying to figure out how to make royal icing butterflies and I'm testing a few different ideas, only problem is I forgot how tired my hands get squeezing icing bags. I guess I have to build those muscles up again.

I'm learning how to play all kinds of fun songs on my guitar now that I have someone who is helping me to learn.

Played some more guitar. I See the Light is so much easier than Days of Summer. The limited chords helps a lot I have to say, the fact that you can actually hear the guitar in the sound track is helpful, and the picking is really fun to do.

I'm still learning the guitar, and will be for a while. Anyway I was watching some clips from Tangled today and found someone playing I See The Light. I tried it out and it isn't so hard. I kind of felt like a real guitar player because I then just listened to the song and was able to figure out what chords I needed some of the time. I'm having so much fun.

I'm trying to do my guitar 'home work' but I'm all kinds of confused. I'm getting faster at playing the beginning of my song though, and row row row your boat.

I learned how to play row row row your boat on the guitar today. I had to actually memorize it without being able to look at a piece of paper, and I did. Lots more practice is needed before I will actually be able to do it quickly, or even right every time. I am building up my fingers though and I'm able to play for much longer now. Next step is to actually get my fingers strong enough to hold the strings.
