Retro: Cake Decorating Class
Ten years ago today was the epic cake decorating class – one of many baking classes that Shari taught at the community centre in the community of Jesús María.

A Sticky Bible
Yes, I’m talking about a Bible that is actually sticky – which usually would be a bad thing. But today was special.
Today Shari led a baking class – unlike any class before. It was finally time for the much-requested topic – How to Decorate Cakes!
 |
There were twelve women (plus Shari and Tina) who came, and a handful of kids, including three or four that don’t usually come.
They learned how to make icing and fondant, how to make cake from a boxed cake mix (not as simple as you may think, if you’ve never done it!), some of them learned how to use a microwave (with all those scary buttons) and a double-boiler, how to decorate with an icing gun, how to make cakes with several layers, and more.
After a time of instruction, in pairs and groups the women started some mad decorating, using their own creative ideas. You can see in the pictures what they came up with.
Of course Shari brought her Bible, and at the very end in the midst of all the crumbs and sugar, she shared a brief devotional about the Gospel.
If your Bible has to get sticky, that’s a pretty good excuse, I think.
Shari’s Birthday Cakes

I’ve successfully restored another album in our gallery. It was a new one when our gallery got fried, so you might not have seen it before.
It’s a collection of pictures featuring birthday cakes that Shari has made for the kids. I think we have all of them in there now, except for the cakes from this year (which are still in our Recent shots… album).
So check them out! Maybe you’ll get a new idea for your next party. 🙂
