Getting Ready

We have had another busy week. Kaitlyn got shots this past Wednesday. Now she is all ready for Kindergarten in two years! I decided to do it before July 1st when Idaho no longer covers immunizations for privately insured people. Who knows how much they will cost then. She was so brave and only said "ouch" twice, no tears. I can't believe how brave she is sometimes. Ashley was thoroughly relieved that she didn't have to have any. She made everyone in the office laugh when she gave the biggest grin to the news! Katie is doing great and I am wondering if it was more than sugar water in those syringes!


I finally got my mixer yesterday! The Kitchenaid 600 series. My fondant recipe just burns out the smaller models. This one has the 575 watt motor. I am loving it! We made our first batch of bread last night, Chantelle's awesome recipe. So yummy!
Kyle is now pushing me to get a business license and everything. I am going to start taking one day a week to practice all my cake skills. I recently took a gum paste class and loved it! Now I can make the more realistic looking sugar flowers. I am enjoying this new hobby and can't wait to use my mixer. This week I will start on the bow for the present cake I am making for my mom's girls camp group. I am so excited not to be making fondant by hand! Hopefully I will be starting a separate blog soon too!

Oh and I decided to go with the Kitchenaid over the Bosch because Jen's Bosch has a hard time with cookie dough and larger batches of bread. She said that she wishes she still had her Kitchenaid. I figured since her Bosch wasn't keeping up with her Kitchenaid (which wasn't the 575 watt motor) I would just burn it down the first time I used it for fondant. I had always heard good things about Bosch, I was a little surprised. And that wasn't her only complaint about it.
