Jamie, you're avatar's eyes are following me! Aaaaaack!

Hey everyone! Thaught I would drop in and say hi! no cakes for me tonight, just got done setting up my 50" tv!!!!!! So excited to get it set up and now see where I am....CC!!! Ha! It never fails!

LCD, plasma, or LED?

Oh sheesh...yeah, it IS pretty freaky. Anyone ever make creme brulee with half and half and margarine? I had the misfortune of watching someone doing this earlier. I can't imagine it was very good.

Is it stuck there? I wish I had a piece of electrical tape to put over it!

Just dropped by to say Hello, and hope everyone is doing fine. God Bless.

Finished my baby shower cake for tomorrow for a good friend. On wednesday I got a call that she'd been put in the hospital, and might be having her baby, which meant the guest of honor wouldn't be at her own shower! I was bummed because 2 weeks ago, i dislocated my shoulder, and I'm not allowed to raise my arm. So all week i've been working on this cake, baking and freezing, making MMF (not easy one handed by the way). So I'm thinking, what if we have to call this whole thing off, what will I do with all this delicious strawberry cake with cream cheese filling?
Well, I just found out that they let her out of the hospital, just tonight, so I got her cake done, and I'm so psyched for her to see it. I told her I'd do it for free, but I had complete control over the design. It was kind of a wacky design, so I'd love for everyone to give me their opinion! It is in my photos. Have a great evening y'all!

abra526, I love it! I love the birdies idea!

Thanks! It's nice to have a husband who isn't too manly to help me roll out pink fondant!

I see everyone's avatar except Jamie's. I wonder why it isn't showing up? Humph!

Because it was scaring people. I don't have anything to replace it with yet.

I jut got back from a dinner dance that I did the cake for... 80's theme.. I had a lot of fun with it, and thanks all for your ideas y'all gave me about 2 weeks ago. The cake was a big hit!

I'm guessing so the dessert would be less fattening.

No, not really. Doesn't like the texture of the heavy cream. Yeah...I know. Wow. I love her to death, but we do not get involved with baking/cooking together, it gets too hot!

No kidding...

Evening all,

Well, I'm dead tired...made 24 gumpaste roses today, just finished luster dusting them in irredescent and pink. My hands hurt. UGH...and that's not half of what I'll need for the topiary cake for next Saturday. I have to get them all done, 60 in total, by Tuesday because Wed I have 2 doz custom cupcakes due then I have to seriously start on the cake and oh, yeah, superbowl is on Sunday so 2 dozen more cupcakes due then. The great thing is that I haven't done too many roses before and I'm learning on a very steep curve! LOL! Hope everyone has a great weekend...I'm off to bed!

Ok. I'm getting ticked off with Ebay. Been trying to buy the Wilton bowling pin pan forever. Really want to make it for DH's birthday next week. Why can't I buy it?!! There really should be a place to rent out of production pans!

chelseak, let me know the score. I'm sure it'll be close.

Just finished decorating cookies- making plates of Valentines to sell at church bazaar tomorrow. Hope they do well for the church!

Hi all, I'm working on a Modern Warfare 2 cake, lots of blood and fire. eww!

twooten - have you tried looking on Craig's list and freecycle?

Okay. 10 til 3 in the morning here. I'm off to bed. Night everyone!

Whew, finally got the cake done for my sister's baby shower tomorrow. Didn't have time this week to get started earlier...so baking to cleanup all tonight in 6 hours. Which for me is great! First cake in a couple of months. I must be getting faster...didn't hurt that it was a simple design. Did one of those baby bumps...not fond of them, but my sister in law (who's helping put on the shower) thought they were awfully cute. Will post tomorrow. Night all!

Hi guys, its been ages since I got on here! been fitting out the shop for opening on 2nd Feb - its manic at the minute, just got all our decorating done, counter built and furniture set up - now for the final touches and moving all my supplies from home to the shop.
Cake-wise I tried to keep myself quiet for the whole of Jan and first bit of feb but it's just not happening! have a 2 tier 1st birthday cake - the same as the lion cake in my pics and that's it for me - just have to sort out the cake dummies for the windows now!

hi all - hope its ok to join in

my thing this year is to bake a different cake from scratch every week. last week was coconut with choc ganache (which got rave reviews and im making again on tuesday for friends) and right now i have an upside down cashew and maple syrup loaf in the oven... i suspect my co-workers are going to gain weight this year
