Icing and I don't get along and back to basics in the pool...

We had another swim class this Saturday morning and Mason is loving every minute of it! Jake has been trying to teach him to float on his back and I must say his technique will make you L-O-L!! See below! We have two classes left for the winter sessions and then we will probably sign up for spring too.
I have been busy trying to perfect my cupcake decorating skills. I plan to make cupcakes for Mason's 2nd birthday party BUT if I cant master the icing...Ill be calling the bakery..stat! If I have a recipe that is yummy..then its too thin for the decorating bag and tip combo. Its its stiff enough to decorate with then it usually tastes...off...SOOO if anyone reading knows of a good buttercream frosting thats thick but creamy...help a sista out!
AND..just so I dont feel like I am writing to myself every week...comment!!!! And to my 11 followers..THANK YOU for reading!
