I’m making a cake later this week for the Hurlburt Spouses’ Club Charity Auction<\/a>.  I hope it turns out really pretty and yummy…the money earned from the auction will help provide scholarships for members of the Team Hurlburt family!<\/p>\n

Tonight I decided to start on the roses, since I hadn’t made roses in several years.  2007?  2008?  I can’t remember.<\/p>\n

Let me say that skill in making icing roses is NOT like the skills you develop riding a bike!  I had a hard time remembering how to do it and I really struggled with the icing temperature.  I got a little out of control.  Out of all these roses, I only need about 10 of them.<\/p>\n

I’ll take a picture of the completed cake on Friday, I promise!<\/p>\n
