The Monday night before baking class Tuesday...bump!!!

this week we are going to start the "colorflow technique" this ought to be really interesting, so far the only color i've seen flowing on any of my cakes has been down onto the cake plate!!!! Oh my!!!Ya'll come join us, we are having a blast at this!!!!

Nov 10th Tuesday @ 7... craftyladybug we would love to do holiday goodies, you have any specialties that you can share with us or any suggestions that we could bake up!!! Please join us!!! We really are having a blast at this!!!

when is next class, on anything for holiday preparation s ideas or baking ideas for cookie exchange

Friday would be best for me. I'd like to finally learn to make biscuits. My Mom (God rest her soul) tried all my teen years to show me how and I could NEVER get the hang of it. And, since I know how to bake cakes, I'd like to learn to decorate what I've baked.

Only if you promise to come!

What you wanna bake up...I'm sure it can be arranged!!!

Goddess, any chance of having classes on a Friday or Saturday night?

Now 1goddess, girlfriend - you's can pick on me all you's want :) I looked that there poINsettia word up on spell check and the p**nsettia is what it suggested - now I should have thought of that myself - that there p**nsettia thing :) I think I is still going round in circles :) licking that there icing off'n dat cake :) LMAO :)

I forgot to check the recipe thread :( been having a few problems over the last couple of days but here I is now :) :) better late than never they say!!!!

Mr. GrannyFelt's Rocks - dat man can do anything I think. Both Mrs. and Mr. GrannyFelt's are great people. I admire both'em :) And Freddiemae - are you gonna let 1goddess say that there stuff bout you? HEHEHEH Girlfriend - you did better than me - I was jealous :) :) :) :)
Ok can't wait for next weeks class!!!! You people have no idea what you is a missing. Bring extra depends if'n you come - but seriously - come and join us!!!! It is great fun. :) :) :)

well, we got a few cake's decorated last night...but of course, not without a few laughs!!!

Started with a few leaves...then onto a couple of rose's...then the piece de'resistance' Poinsettia's...no not the pornsettia's mentioned earlier on YODA's words of wisdom thread...I have no idea what she was thinking of...but it certainly wasn't poinsettia's!!! But I do know she ended up going in circle's when she was trying to do the border's on her cake!!! Round and round she went....as for where she landed nobody know's, yet!!! As of this posting I have not heard from her...YODA...I do hope you're ok!!!

Now, freddiemae's leaves and flowers just were'nt' quite right for her, she just kept dragging her's out. For some reason she just wouldn't settle for her's being to short!!! She likes the loooong one's!!!!

1goddess's poinsettia's had a little extra added attraction...I like mine curly...you know just a little added flair there!!!! tickle tickle!!!!

So we ended up with 2 very nice basketweave cakes topped with rose's and poinsettia's!!! YODA and freddiemae did a really fine job on their cakes after detemining the proper lenghts and without the circling motion's going on!!!!

There is just absolutely no way that we can thank Mr. & Mrs. grannyfelts for all their help and love. You guys are absolutely the best!!!!

next week we are going to start the "colorflow technique" this ought to be really interesting, so far the only color i've seen flowing on any of my cakes has been down onto the cake plate!!!! Oh my!!!

Ya'll come join us, we are having a blast at this!!!!
