Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • So, I feel like my first fondant cake was a success! First I rolled out some white fondant and tinted it black then rerolled it out and cut out some daisies. Fondant is surprisingly easy to work with, although not the tastiest of cake coverings. So after cutting out black & white daisies (17 of…

  • So far so good. Cake baked up well. Filling tastes great. I managed to tint the fondant and cut out flowers. Now I’ve got to put the flowers together, cover the cake with the fondant and add the decorations. Pray for me people. Yes I’m a bit crafty, but I’ve never been known as coordinated…

  • It has turned warm (hot really) except for this week when we have a nice temporary cool down. And warm weather round here means grilling time for CSP. So meal planning has been tough lately as I’ll ask what he’d like for dinner and suggest something from my little repetoire. Then he’ll shoot it down…

Because no one in their right mind would name their child this. No one. And I’ve come across some crazy names. I’m pretty sure I’ve blogged about this before,…

  • Lots to talk about today people, so settle in and get comfy. Ok, first off I’m scared. I’m getting older and that means my family is too. But you know how some people, especially the ones you don’t see every day, how they kind of stay the same age in your head? Then you see…

  • Bring April birthdays. Jeesh this first week of April is chock full. I’m gonna try my hand at cake decorating and make one for my sister Morgan’s birthday party this weekend. Oh, and if you enlarge the pic you’ll notice that we have our appointment for fingerprints! Woohoo! Progress! April 12th. 8am which means we…
