Made From Scratch

Since the weather cooled down a little this past Sunday, I promised my daughter that I would do some baking. This was made from scratch. I don't like to use box mixes anymore. I love to bake but hate cleaning up the after. This is a vanilla cake with a whipped butter cream icing & a strawberry jam filling. I have been thinking about taking a cake decorating class for some time, however, I can't seem to fit it into my busy schedule.

Ooooh...squeeze in the class! I'm finally biting the bullet and taking one that starts..um...I want to say September 29th? It's through CCAC. I figure those who read my blog deserve to see improvement in the cake decorating area. =) Your cake looks delicious--I love that particular flavor combination. =)

I Don't Think So

Living on a dead end street SUCKS! We are always the last for everything. Since we are currently snowed in, I had to tell the hospital that we will not be having mom's surgery tomorrow. Not only are we snowed in, but they wanted us to be there at 5 am. Yeah right! Not with these cold teperatures & the risk of the roads being a complete sheet of ice. I don't think so.

Nobody's Perfect

Nobody's perfect, listen to me. Do you think my daughter has me brainwashed with Hannah Montana. When does school start? Any how, this pepper is right out of my garden. My kids picked it up off the counter & examined it closely. The puzzled look on their faces was priceless. The finally the question. What is this? I explained to them that it is a green pepper from the garden. For some reason I don't think they believed me.

Over Run By Divas

The Birthday Girl The Divas The cake. The one I worked long & hard on. It was made from scratch. I'm talking everything except the edible picture. We sang, the candles were blown out, the cake was cut & distributed. Then the food critic voice her opinion loud & clear. "I don't like this cake." She set the trend for the rest of the group. They slowly brought their plates back to the table one after the other. It was like the march of the penguins. Who do they think they are Gordon Ramsey? I can only imagine what they are going to be like when they are older. Bridezillas look out! January, 31, 2009
