Wilton has some new products that I like (as well as some old ones that I still like). I think you will sense a common theme here...I don't have any of this... but my uncle does, and it looks very nice on the chocolate cake he made for his son's 9th

Penguin Cake Idea

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:55:00 -0500

My sister's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. This is a sketch I made (actually it's a picture of a sketch; I used the "documents" setting on my camera which is why it's brownish) of that cake. It's very early in the design phase right now. Al

My Own Thin

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:57:00 -0500

Remember Good Eats? I was quite inspired by this little video (that episode is one of my favorites), so I made chocolate chip cookies today! The thin, of course!They tasted excellent with a nice cold glass of milk... but they were too big to fit in

Rosca de Reyes

This is a delicious sweet-bread that is eaten in Mexico on Jan. 6, El Dia de los Reyes (Day of the Kings, or Epiphany). I made some for my Spanish class.Traditionally (and what my class did), a small baby is placed inside the cake, and whoever gets

I love Ace of Cakes. That is totally my dream job!! Totally is not normally in my vernacular, but in this case, I think the word is appropriate.Case in point: Duff got to go to LA for the Harry Potter premier (insert girlish squeal), met Dan Radcl

This lady is amazing!

Wed, 2 Jan 2008 22:46:00 -0500

This lady has skill! And she has a nice Scottish accent too. =) I looked at her website, which only reaffirmed what I think about her skill level. When she makes a gum paste rose, she makes it look easy. As I watched the video, I though: I could

I love to bake. But I'm not really big on the whole experimentation thing. (Too many bad memories of school science fairs, I guess.) So when I make cakes, I don't experiment with any of my own recipes. The same with icing. I do some searching on
