1. 156 CAKE POPS
This took 2 days where Thursday night, I had baked 8 boxes of cake mix, smashed it all up with icing and shortening and rolled them into balls to rest over night in the fridge. Friday, Jennifer came over to help dip the pops...and I felt like this just took forever. I really don't have the space for 156 cake pops to be strewn about lol. But we made do and got all the pops dipped. After dipping, me being my anal self...I didn't want any helping piping the details on the lightning mcqueens and hello kitties. God my hand was cramping up by the end of the night!!! Im not exactly too happy with how the piping turned out...I think for the finer details like the eyes and the whiskers...I should have just invested in food markers and draw them on. Lesson learned :D For never having pipped or made cake pops before and especially a batch of 156...I guess they came out good. They definitely were a hit with the kids at the party Saturday evening haha. Every single parent was asking me how did I do it...was it hard...how long did it take me...Truthfully...it wasn't hard. IT WAS JUST LONG. And I really needed more space to function. If you cant mash up cake, roll it into a ball, stick and dip...then you have problems. So yeah...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
2. INTERVIEWS.
Yes, I have had set up a couple since I last posted. Gotta keep at it is all I can say. -.-
3. PAPER QUILLING.
The art of rolling paper and gluing it 3-dimensionally. So yes...I did spend a good amoutn of time cutting strips of card stock, 1mm wide...rolling it between my fingers to make a coil...then shaping it into the design I want only to glue it down. I did this for a couple of hours. And it is all made by paper and glue. I have no life.
God I wish an employer can see the skills with my hands and translate it to the skills I would have as a Lab tech. I got them steady hands and commitment to do mindless work for hours lol. sigh.
