Cake Decorating for Novices

by Rebecca on February 9, 2010

It’s a good thing my husband and I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs because we are pretty sure we have addictive personalities.  As much as we try not to, we become obsessed with TV shows.  Past lovers have been Arrested Development, House, CSI (until it got weird) and Seinfeld.  30 Rock is now in the lead as our current obsession.  We watch it every Thursday night when it is on.  And then we watch it again on nbc.com the next night.  When it isn’t on TV, we watch full episodes on Netflix.  Nearly every night.  We finished all the seasons in December and started over again in January.  We have even left events early to come home and watch 30 Rock. 

I know.  Embarrassing.

We’re now taking on a new project.  We love spending time together and we love developing hobbies.  So we decided Tuesday and Wednesday nights will become “Hobby Nights” instead of “Past Episodes of 30 Rock that We Just Watched a Month Ago Nights.”  We will choose a hobby and explore it for a full month.

The hobby this month?  Cake decorating.  Suggested by my adorable husband. 

The tools: Wilton Cake Decorating Tools and Caddy purchased from Robert’s (with a 50% coupon!)

The book: which came in the kit.

The addicts:

Wish us luck!  We have no idea what we’re doing!  I’ll be posting our adventures (or misadventures) as we go along.

This should be interesting. Can’t wait to see. Remember my birtday is coming up. Can you make me a cake???

This is a great idea! I think having a hobby together is a great way to strengthen a relationship (and skip the reruns). I’m going to have to use my 50% off coupon for that kit–so cool!

Have fun! If the cakes aren’t that pretty, at least they’ll taste good! :) My husband and I are going to start building furniture this summer for our hobby. Should be interesting.
