Cake Decorating Class

Hello! One week to go!! :) Today I went back to the cooking school and learned how to decorate with fondant (the fancy looking stuff on big cakes/wedding cakes: looks cool--tastes like crap!)

I learned how to cover a cake, make bows, and streamers. I also worked with Gum Paste and made a rose and some daisies! Had a blast with it, and its actually easier than I expected! Here are a few pics of my little cake!

SF Giants Baseball

Today I went to AT & T park to see the SF giants baseball vs Milwalkee. Great game, great seats, the team- well, not so great. I assume they lost as it was the top of the 9th when we left and they were losing 5-2. I went with Maureen (From UCSF), her manchops Patrick, and her crazy brother Mike. Definitely an entertaining day! The seats were great!!! We were about 15-20 rows behind the vistors dugout. We were even in the special section that you can fill out a form and they bring the food to you. And this section has their own bathrooms.....no lines to wait in!!! Can you believe that???? Weather was good and the sun even made an appearance everyonce in a while! Another great SF experience!

Softball Challenge

Hello! A few weeks back the pedi echo lab was challenged by the adult echo lab to a game of softball. Considering that most of us had not played softball since say, middle school, we figured that we would be winning not with talent, but with team spirit and distraction. And our plan worked! Our team was called: Marilala and the woozy chickens! Marilala (or Marilou) was the team captain. And the woozy chicken: a mascot shall we say. Actually we made a great chant with the woozy chicken, and then I brought some feathers boas to help with it. The distraction: an air horn, and lots of whistles! And then of course, we had our hot pink matching wristbands! Hanoi sported the afro wig, which looked fantastic with the boa. And did you know, its very difficult to hit a ball with a boa in your face! For those of you who are thinking...Dawn doesn't play softball....you are correct! But with the magical boa, I actually hit the ball everytime I was up to bat, and scored 2 runs! Not too bad! Hope you enjoy the pictures! I had a great time, even got a little sun on the face! Yes, we won! 17 to 7!
