While spending time in a conversaton with Mom in the summer of 2011, I learned that she has always wanted to learn how to decorate cakes. I was shocked and educated by this conversation. The thing that shocked me is that she’s wanted to get into the formal pastry craft of decorating. I along with everyone that knows Ruby Jean knows that she loves to cook and especially enjoys making cakes, cupcakes and cookies and giving them away to family friends and church members. Knowing this did not transform my thoughts to visualize that one of her desires was to begin creating and executing pastry designs. Not a complex conclusion to make but I didn’t do it!
Researching options for taking a cake decorating class while she was in town educated me of the fact that this craft is commonly taught in multi-week courses. Mom agreed that she would return and be prepared to stay for a minimum of 4 weeks when she was ready to become a pastry student.
She decided that that 4 week period began in June 2012 and she returned to Texas.
While in Dallas primarily to take cake decorating class, we took the opportunity to jump into other classes and adventures.
We had some great fun. I’ll share clips of our adventures with you. I”m sure that you will agree!
