Mommies Day!

So here I am on my way home from taking my older brother back to SBU for the last time as a freshman. And it is mother day of all day and next year he will be a sophomore in college and I will be a senior in high school. My little brother will be a junior and soon after that we will all be out of high school. I know it is hard to think about right now because I want to just enjoy my senior year and I don’t want anything to change right now. I know for my mom it seems very hard to think about and I know she doesn’t want me to “leave the nest” but I know she also knows that we all have to grow up weather we want to or not. It’s just really hard to think about.



I try and wrap my mind around what is going to happen to me soon. Next month by the schools terms I will become a senior in high school because the seniors now will have graduated and we will be the rulers of the school. Then in the fall I will start my school year off as a good start. I will be able to do just about anything I want to (still following my parents rules). I will be gaining more trust with my parents because they know that soon I will be off at college not far away but I will be growing up. I will become a Pastry Chef!

This weekend I made my mom and mothers day cake. The cake was an ice cream cake. I used a spring form pan and baked my cake in that. After it was done I let it freeze completely when it was frozen I put a layer of magic shell (it’s like chocolate syrup but hardens when it gets cold) let that freeze. Then I put my ice cream on top of the shell. I put it back into the freezer to let the ice cream get hard and later I pulled it out and decorated the top of it. When I pulled it out of the freezer today I took the ring off and very carefully decorated the sides. It was a difficult task to decorate the sides but it sure was worth it. We all enjoyed the yummy ice cream cake after a delicious mothers day lunch/dinner. It was a chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream on top. Check it out!
