So in retrospect maybe taking a banjo and cake decorating class at the same time was not such a good idea. Or maybe it is the best idea ever! I could end up with the world's strongest hands.
I started to make parallels between cake decorating and playing the banjo. Both involve hand pressure. The pastry bag has to be held with just the right amount of pressure so that the flow of icing comes out smoothly. When playing the banjo your fingers have to be placed on the frets just so in order for the tones to come out correctly. Both make your hands hurt from practice. But only one do you get all over the place and the opportunity to eat your mistakes.
Perhaps I should start using a stress ball during the day in an effort to strengthen my hands even more! Or get one of those muscle man hand squeezers. You know the triangle shaped one with the spring on it? Yep one of those. Let me know if you see one.
