HOW TO BAKE A CAKE ....

Although i don’t like to cook ... i really love to bake.
Cakes, Cupcakes, Strudel, everything!
My favorite part is to decorate. Every Birthday Cake looks different. Once i made a „Black Forest Cake“ for Konny shaped like a Surfboard.
Since we live in the US, i watched the „Food Channel“ with ‚Cake Decoration“ Shows.
I would like to take a class in cake decorating but all the classes are in the evenings on days i have to work. :-( That’s why i bought a book. It really looks easy but, i can tell ... it’s not!!!!
Putting the icing on the cake was almost a disaster. Everytime i wanted to put icing on, pieces of the cake broke off. It looked like a mudpie. UUUaaaahhh ! To save the cake i put tiny icing-flowers close together using my decoration kit (see the pic below).
One of my co-workers now gave me the tip, to freeze the cake before frosting!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

We`ve got married in Las Vegas 2003. And now it`s our third (3rd) Anniversary !!!!
I`ve got 3 red roses from my hubby, one for every year!
This year, it was on a weekend day and nowbody of us had to work and we had Dinner at Pizza Hut.
Pizza Hut is like a tradition now. After our wedding in the Little White Chapel in Vegas we had a georgeous tour on the strip in a white strech-limo. After we got back to our RV we walked to a Casino and to the next restaurant because we were soooooooo hungry... and that was Pizza Hut. (abtw... i took a break from my diet because i just got married .... *LOL* ... after the breakfast the next morning i bought a dozen of Krispy Creme Donuts :-))) )

STRETCH AND BURN ... :-))))

While watching MTV Music Videos i found some interested DVD`s at a commercial break. Yoga, Power Yoga, Pilates and Power Pilates. They were in a package, and of course, i ordered them!

BURN ... BURN ... BURN ... some calories !!!

After months without doing any sports i finally startet running again. I don`t like to run thru the city, or on running trails... my favorite place are the tracks at the High School. That way i count all laps together and i know how many miles i did.
Honestly, it`s between 1 and 2 miles right now, it`s not much, but it`s better than beeing a couch-potatoe :-)))))
And... i feel soooooo good after running.
Let`s go back in shape!!!

READY - STEADY - GO ..........
