cake redemption.

so lauren is a culinary minor, and this semester she is taking a cake decorating class. she is learning really fast. it makes me miss the times i spent with mama and sica when we did our cake decorating class. that was a ton of fun! (not to mention i was pretty good at it too:) anyways, last week she turned in her first cake. it was really cute, she made it for our fhe brothers.

i love the 4 little flower things right under the big flower!

it says, "we love 301." they live in apt 301 and that is why that makes sense. well, after she turned it in and got her grade we took it over to the boys. they were pretty excited. took a picture of it and then dug in. we had to save a piece and take it home for stephanie. so she got some. us girls had just eaten and weren't really in the mood for cake so only the boys ate it. we hung out with them for a while and just had fun. then we went home. no sooner had we gotten home than stephanie tore into her piece, and no sooner did she take a bite than she spat it back out. lauren was confused. so lauren tasted the cake, a look of horror and disgust crossed her face. so i took a bite. the cake was really gross. i don't know what it was or how to describe it, but if cake can expire, than i swear that is what this cake had done. it was not good at all. lauren was humiliated. all of those boys had eaten that cake, all of it, and they hadn't said anything. the next time we saw them, we brought it up. they all admitted that the cake was gross, but said they didn't want to hurt her feelings so they just ate it and didn't say anything. well, lauren vowed to get cake redemption! her second cake came around. she decorated it very masculinely, seeing as her first cake was a little girly, and we made sure to cut a tiny piece out of the back and try it before delivering it. needless to say after she turned it in for her grade she brought it home and i made a little sign to put near the lake.

very manly.

what a perfect little sign. :)

lake redemption (for cake redemption). we took it over to the boys. they were a little hesitant, but tried it anyways. success!! they ate the entire thing, and we joined them. we had a fun night with them and hung out and talked. i love our fhe boys this semester! they were our friends before too, but now i feel like we just have an extra bond with them, and its fantastic! they are so great and i am excited for the rest of the semester with them. (and for the rest of the cakes that are sure to find their way to our house or their house during the semester).

scripture of the day:
Alma 36:24 Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

today i am thankful for:
* an awesome bunch of fhe boys!
* talents and abilities that help us help others.
* learning.
* patriarchal blessings.
