Last Friday, I did my first official cake for Ms Debbie’s Sugar Art! She hired me to decorate cakes back in January, but because of the number of cakes on order, she said she probably wouldn’t need me until the end of February. However, a friend of mine ordered a cake last weekend and requested …
At the end of January, Cat Doss emailed me and offered to send me a 4 oz bottle of her company’s Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion to review. I used the lotion religiously last week so I could give the most honest and informative review possible. The concept behind Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is …
My Grandma sent me the link to this video on YouTube called 99 Balloons. I have to warn you, it’s a tear-jerker. But it’s so sweet, and I think it’s the purest expression of love I’ve seen in a long time. In honor of Valentine’s Day, I share it with you: And to dry up …

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend the Florida International Cake Exploration Societe (ICES) Mini Classes! I say lucky because I was only able to afford the registration and tuition because I won a scholarship from the national ICES chapter this summer. As a side note, if you are an ICES member, …
Mardi Gras 2010 is quickly approaching, and I’d be willing to bet that with the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl, it’ll be huge! This year, Fat Tuesday falls on February 16th. Did you know “Mardi Gras” is French for “Fat Tuesday?” Fat Tuesday always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the …
A few months ago, Wilton introduced a new product, the Button Flower Fondant Cut & Press Set, for creating cute, whimsical flowers. I’m ashamed to say that I never tried it because the packaging didn’t make it completely clear how to use the product. I don’t know about you, but money doesn’t grow in my …
Folks, we have a winner! Comment #16 was chosen by random.org. Congratulations, Becky! Becky said… The crockpot is my weeknight must-have! So easy and quick, and I don’t have to think about making supper when I get home from work. January 22, 2010 8:18pm
