Gifted...

On Wednesday evening I got together with some of my favourite sisters at a ward Relief Society activity. I taught a short mini class on scrapbooking and we were very much inspired by sister Sheena Hastings who taught us all about small vegetable gardens. Sheena is incredibly talented, not only does she grow the most amazing vegatables in her garden, but she is a talented cook. As part of the evenings refreshments she provided this chocolate cake.

Yes, underneath all those tiny sugar craft details is a chocolate cake. How amazing! I have tried cake baking and decorating, as you may have seen, but nothing like this. This is completely beyond my abilities - it's a gift!

Just look at those potatoes - dusty as though they have just been pulled from the ground! So at the end of the evening I could not believe it when sister Sheena gave me her cake to take home and share with my boys. What a gift! I couldn't wait to show it to my boys in the morning. They were just as amazed as I was when I showed them at breakfast. Jarom was particularly impressed, and we agreed to all have a slice with milk instead of cereal. So a big thank you goes to a very talented and sweet sister for such a gift of love, the Beale family is now very much inspired to start growing veggies in the garden.
