All I've got tonight is 1 doz cupcakes for pickup tomorrow.
And I'm torturing myself by watching DC Cupcakes. This show is awful. I've got to switch stations.
I have always said that I would watch anything cake related, but for the life of me I can't watch that show. The overacting, and the constant mommy reference is so weird. Hate to be critical, but its just so annoying. I keep trying to watch it, but just can't do it.
hoping to finish my big project tomorrow - 3D dinosaur - praying it holds together and looks ok scared but it will be over soon so thats a relief.
I think i've gone through 5-6 plus boxes of rice crispies - I lost count on how many marshmallows - but I have 8 batches of fondant waiting for tomorrow - 6 I made, 2 were left overs my friend had left from a recent project. so I am guessing I've used 10 bags of marshmallows - 5 bags of powdered sugar...
I'm beat. but the head, legs, tail of RKT are done. the cakes i baked and froze last weekend.
tomorrow morning, I'll make butter cream, assemble the cakes, then I royal icing for the RKT coating, and cover the lot with fondant - and pray pray pray pray pray...
luckily I have my husband to help roll the fondant, my arms are sore already!!
if you wouldn't mind - if you're the praying kind - send one for me!
First weekend I have nothing. As much as love cakes it's a nice break.
DC cupcakes is painful to watch!
If anyone has time check out my cakes I love feedback - thanks!
Today I finally got the chance to visit the best cake supply store in Colorado, Cake Crafts! I could spend my life in there I managed to only spend $100 and I got so many things I've been looking for. Can't wait to go back.
Also I picked my mom up from the airport and I'm experimenting on her. Made some large vanilla & butter cupcakes filled with a new Bavarian creme recipe. And she tried ganache for the first time. Al-in-all an amzing cake day!

Where is this store located? I'll be in Denver area Easter weekend...I get tired of ordering fun stuff, I wanna SHOP!
Today I had a princess/diva theme sheet cake picked up and an order of dog shaped cookies, tonight I'm working on a cake with kind of an antique wooden toy train as the design theme...yeesh, had to take a break from that...but back to work....happy caking out there everyone
DC Cupcakes irritates me because every time I drive by their store, there's a line around the corner, but every time I talk to someone about their cupcakes they always say something like "They're on the dry side, but they're delicious!" I don't see why people would settle for dry cupcakes at $3.50 a pop.
wow...I forgot about Friday nights too!!!! I only have a princess castle due for Monday, so I made RKT tonight for the towers. Next week will be better...a wedding and a baby shower both due for Saturday.
Okay, it is not Friday night anymore, but I have been working on a full sheet cake for church Sunday night. I am awake because I couldn't sleep. The Health Department was out Thursday and okayed where we will need to put our new septic system for my new kitchen and the plumber is coming tomorrw for an estimate. We pick up my new cooler tomorrow and will have to store it on my side of the garage. Next week I rent a storage unit so that I can move the things out of the old building and start destruction so the new building can go up.
Now I am really wide awake!
Glad to see I am not the only one late on the draw!!! And to go back to previous posts....I can't stand DC cupcakes!!!!!!!!!
Friday night going into Saturday morning here in Europe...
The 30th birthday cake I worked on last night has just been picked up. Chocolate cake with creamy marzipan filling. Cake designed as a present with bow, name of birthday boy and a few butterflies (yes, his girlfriend ordered it lol)
Now I have to finish 85 cupcakes in 3 different flavours plus the cutting cake. Chocolate with rasperry-cream cheese frosting, yellow cake with dark chocolate cream cheese frosting and lemon cake filled with lemon curd and topped with lemon-flavoured fondant. Embellished with flowers, butterflies and pearls. Uff... I better get finished!!

I live in Ohio, but if I were you, I'd pay someone to stand in line for me!
You buy their cupcake if they get you one also. Then you'll know what they taste like!
