Ok, here's the deal.....I made my own frosting for years. A basic combo of crisco & butter & I added whipping cream and it tasted great but handled terribly. It never smoothed nicely or crusted so I w ...

I bought a multi-pack of airbrush color for about $20 - I think there were 10 colors and from there, you can make anything. I use the same for handpainting, since I already have it. Just use vodka to ...

I just checked it again and it seems awfully soft....not sure if that had to do with the cure time or the fact that I didn't use 4# of sugar - more like 3 1/4 or so.

Guess I will wait until tomorro ...

I just made Michelle Fosters MMF recipe (for the first time, instead of the regular MMF) and finished it at about 1 p.m. today. I need to do a whole handpainted cake ( 2 layers ) by tomorrow and was h ...

Jeez, what the heck is wrong with me?? I sort of liked the pink cake Embarassed

but then again, pink is my very favorite color and I like busy stuff......

I did ...

ok, I will share the drama behind this...... we sold a mutual item that we were no longer using and I sort of told hub that he could do whatever he wanted with the money. Well, afterwards, I f ...

So my husband came home today with a brightly wrapped package..... for me. It is not my birthday. It is not our anniversary. I am immediately wondering what in the name of God the man did that was so ...

I was reading the holygrail icing thread and heard lots of good things about Dixie icing and wanted to give it a try. We don't have a Sam's club within 100 miles of my house but we do have a super wal ...

I, too, am sorry that this didn't work out better for you. I would have to agree that high end goods were probably not what the bargain shoppers were looking for (as I am one of them Very Happy

).

I have al ...

Well here is my first negative comment about the cake girls Sad

..... I really preferred the cake without that enormous baseball bat. It looked good, it was an okay likeness (Louisville Slugger, I assum ...

On a different note, I just read that the cakediva's, Joan & Leigh, have gotten married.

To Each Other?

Yes, they married each other this summer, June or July, I think.
