What a nightmare today, I dropped a half full bag of powdered sugar in my kitchen... I was making icing for my class tomorrow night and if just flipped out my hand  and went flying. Ontop of that fiasco I asked Liam to pick out cakemix for cupcakes for his bakesale at school. He picked the yellow butter recipe and they did not turn out. I'm going to have to dump them their is no salvaging them.

I should be coloring fondant now but I've run out of steam... I've got a few fall type flowers and leaves to get made.

Just for Kicks I started taking the Wilton course 1... They've changed it so i thought oh what the heck... This class is way better than the class I took 25 yrs ago...
My next project is my parents 60th Anniversary cake for Oct 21st. Wayne wants me to make the fondant ribbon for the top, I picked up some lovely fall colored ribbons at Micheal's last week.
I worked on a new chocolate sour cream cake batter from scratch. Of coarse i screwed it up on the first try i over did the butter not reading the recipe rite.... I brought it into the people I work with and they went wild for it. So I'm sure are I correct my mistake it will be just as delicious.
I spent the whole day last Sunday in the kitchen and when it came time to make the home icing I was pretty tired... I took half a bag of dark chocolate pieces a stick a butter and a heaping table spoon of cocoa powder and let it melt on the stove with dinner was in the oven. Once I got it creamed down I should added some shortening but I was experimenting I added a bag and half of powder sugar  and didn't measure out how much water I tossed in but somehow I made a lovely thick gnash..
The cupcakes i started with were way better after being in the fridge for 2 days and with that thick chocolate frosting they were totally killer...

So I had this very funny idea yesterday... I was thinking about Wills & Kate's engagement and I thought I'd bake them a cake. Oh yeah any excuse to bake a cake haha!!! But I was thinking about using the tiny tiers cake pan set Aunt Rosie picked up for me.

So Thanksgiving is just going to be the 3 of us. My brother is heading down to Md to his son's and my sister is heading out to WV. And the house is going to be torn up with the construction on the front. Hum, sounds like some good quality time to get some crap cleaned up, especially the cake decorating stuff. Should get started on planning out Brett's birthday cake for early January. I have to possibly locate a Harry Potter pan and put some designs together for Hogwarts castle. I think I'll spend the time fooling around with rice crispy treats and see if I can make the castle towers and parapets. Give it a dry run and see if I can get it to turn out.
