icon_lol.gif That's how I learned to type too! You had super human strength in your fingers and wrists by the time you finished - electric was a real treat when they came out!

Maybe you can appreciate the humor in this one, my son (19yr) thought Nance Drew was one of the Golden Girls icon_eek.gif !!! icon_confused.gif I said your kidding right? "no, she's the one that wears those long vest type sweaters doesn't she?" I'm starting to feel old icon_wink.gif

I loved the Golden Girls. I still watch the re-runs! It was a little before my time, but I still loved it.

Wow, you ladies got hooked up for Mday!

I like when I drive my SIL's car, because she doesn't have power steering. Talk about buff!

Monica, who died and left you boss icon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_razz.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

I have a typewriter from 1929. And, no I wasn't around then icon_confused.gif

I have been trying and trying to make cookies and I just didn't get it. I bought Toba Garretts book and I can make cookies icon_smile.gif

I'm making 90 Baptism cookies. When I'm finsihed I'll post a pic.

But, I have to tell you I never realized how time consuming making cookies can be. No wonder they are a little pricey.

I have to have them done with the cake by this Saturday, or maybe it's Sunday icon_rolleyes.gif I guess I should be sure.

I am so tired of cleaning my KA so now I put newspaper under it and then use plastic wrap around the mixer. So when I'm done I just have to remove the wrap. No more digging around with a toothpick to get it clean. I buy the big wrap from Gordon's so it's not expensive to use.

I use my KA so much it has started to make a noise. If it dies I think I should buy a more powerful one.

No one died, as far as I know, and I am definitely not boss (except for at my house.) I just noticed no one was posting for a while. I'm sorry if I said something wrong.

LOL! icon_lol.gif That's the problem, he reads - he reads ALOT, just not Nancy Drew icon_razz.gif I can't come back on him about it, he's a 19yr with his first certification in computer programming - and half way through getting his second. If it were my oldest son (21 yrs) - not much reading going on with him at all - then I could throw the book at him (pun intended). He knew who Nance Drew was though - he also knew about the Hardy Boys - LOL! icon_rolleyes.gif

I definitely got hooked up. I got breakfast in bed (McDonalds but that's ok)
then I got my airbrush system and we threw a nice little bbq at home.

My B-day is next month. I'm looking into Sugar Veil and an extra bowl for my KA.

Am I being too greedy??

haha! whoo...thanks itsloops. I was really worried about that. Now I'm worriless. I think worringly just is too much of a mouthful.

Here we are back to grammar, is this the word of the day, like in school?

i'm in the process of planning a large cake due Saturday but can't get people to answer my posts. icon_sad.gif It's for a family member's birthday. I just got his okay today. I had to ask because he planned this big party and I wanted to make sure he didn't have one already. I'm going to try to bake the cakes tomorrow.

Does it have a theme?
My boss went to a Graduation party this weekend and he showed me the cake. It was 3 stacked books. So awesome!!!

I told him I would be making one for my nephews next June. Both of them graduate from HS.

It's a replica of his choir's mascot. I'm just having trouble making sure the cake I make, chocolate, is sturdy enough, it should be an hourglass shape. I think I'll just hope for the best and the fondant will keep it together. icon_smile.gif

The book cakes always look so cool!

A quick stupid serious question...does it matter if you use a crusting buttercream under fondant? It's been so long since I've done a fondant cake. . . Nasty stuff..


And then back to the craziness...

I wouldn't think so because the fondant would keep the buttercream from crusting.

Right??? icon_rolleyes.gif

I always use crusting buttercream and to this day, I've never had a problem.

Coolness, thanks. The insanity continues. I just shelled out $40 for 4 lbs of fondant! Ouch! But I was in a bind, and don't have time to wait for an order to come in. Hopefully, its enough and I don't have to buy more.

What BC recipe do you normally use under your fondant?
Last time I worked with fondant I used Wilton, but I'm not crazy about it. I'm using Whimsical Bakehouse cookies and cream filling with a Devil's Food version of the drurable cake. By far my biggest, scariest cake! I'm afraid people will try the creamy-richness of the WBH, then proceed to crisco-y Wilton icing, and then playdough-y black Satin Ice.

AAAAhhh. This is a crazy crazy topic. I have to get my 2 yr old in the bath. I'm quite certain in my latest busy-ness she hasn't had a bath in two days. Ew.

cake_freak: Did you ever get that picture from them? I'd love to see the pic that started this random topic.

I've never tried it before but this weekend I'm planning to try the Duff Butter Cream under my Fondant. I hear that's what he uses. The recipe is on this site.
