sorry for my lack of posting lately...of course, we took some down time over the holidays...& now, we're playing catch up at work as well as at home...gotta get all those decorations down & all the new loot put away...i'm trying to get my inbox cleaned up (mostly cake related) & get pics uploaded so i can make some holiday posts...but u know how it goes!
(sorry for the crappy photo...my camera batteries were dead & had to use my cell)
the shark, Santa, & his surfboard were made of fondant (with a little non-edible support inside)...he caught a wave on top of a confetti cake, filled & iced in buttercream
Ho Ho Ho!
she split up the grandkids so that everyone got a turn (everyone that's of age anyway...of course, Levi's still too small)...
they had a great time spreading some holiday cheer & helping out those less fortunate...
& Ma says that it really did help too...folks are a lot quicker to give when there are kiddos asking ;0)
Shane's mommy asked for me to create The Hundred Acre Wood on his cake...including all of Christopher Robbin's friends...
the whole crew was there...all donning their party hats, ready to celebrate Shane's big day...
the cake was 3 tiers of confetti cake, iced in blue buttercream & decorated with fondant landscaping & characters (100% edible)...
happy 1st birthday Shane!
if i never see another truffle again...
about a month ago, she commented on how much litter shows up on the back road that runs by our house...i walk the dog back this road 2-3 times a day...& usually, the kiddos come along at least once a day...
Corinn then declared herself the "litter police" and started bringing along a grocery bag on all of our walks - to collect any litter we find...
of course, she's fighting a never ending battle...jerks are constantly throwing crap out their windows...but she's definitely making a difference - the roadside looks a lot nicer these days...she's pretty proud of herself!
i'm pretty darn proud of her too!
yesterday, i was given the opportunity to appear on TV3 Daybreak again! u might remember, i was just there in October, to show how to make some fall & Halloween goodies...this time, i was invited back to show folks how to make some holiday treats!
i was on for 3 quick (2 minute) segments this time...first, i demoed how to make my cake truffles...
they weren't mic'd, but you can tell from the video - Jaden wanted to talk on camera SO BAD...especially when he needed to correct Yuna...she called the "cap" he was making for his snowman, a "hat" ~lol~ it was cute...& they did a great job...i was pretty proud!
that evening, Curtis & the kiddos were in the grocery store...a strange woman stopped them to say she'd watched them on TV that morning, & that they did a great job...boy, they think they're total celebrities now! :0)
