My middle child turned 7 yesterday. She wanted a balloon cake. After discussing it in detail, she decided that she really wanted a hot air balloon that stood up. So that’s what I attempted. I started with rice krispie candy molded in a pail and a Pyrex bowl to make the balloon part of the cake. AfterContinue reading “Hot Air Balloon”

Student Cakes
I had such a great month of teaching students at Hobby Lobby with the cake decorating classes. It seemed like the students were genuinely having a great time. I know I was!

Power Tools
A customer called at the beginning of February to find out if I do power tools for cakes. I answered honestly with a nervous laugh by saying, “No one has asked me to do a power tool before”. She laughed too and said that is the response she has been getting from everyone she’s called. IContinue reading “Power Tools”
Super Mario Bros
Does anyone out there remember when the Nintendo came out? I mean the real Nintendo. Not anything with an EX or any other letter behind it.
