Practice makes perfect

This is a practice for the sausage dog cake I have to make for my brothers 21st birthday this weekend. The real thing will have brown icing, black details on the face and collar and generally be put together more smoothly but I needed to work out the structure and how to mould and shape the icing.

There was an announcement at work today. Changes in structure that will hopefully be de the better. But I can't help but feel like it's going to make me obselete...I try my hardest at work and I push myself forward for everything I can and take every opportunity. But I have this awful gut feeling that I am now going to be over shadowed and generally left behind. I have spoken to Frances about it and though she understands she says its the lack of confidence in myself and the negative way in which I think everyone sees me. But whether the changes are for the good or the bad all I know is that today I am feeling pretty down about them.

But I went to hobbycraft after work to get the things I need for cake decorating so it relaxes me to have a look around there. Then came home and spent a bit of time with my flatmates before having a long and very hot bath. Early night on the cards tonight I think. Everything seems better after sleep :)
