Sorry I've been incognito but I m in the midst of cake hell for the next week and 1/2. trying to get SO MUCH done in such a short amount of time! And to top it off a customer finalized their order at the last possible minute and its a doozy and its my daughters graduation as well. Give me strength!!!!!
 
 
 
Never would have known it from Sarah's cake. It was AMAZING and soo yummy!!! Good luck and congrats!

Good to see you popping back in Jeannie girl. I don't know how you do it all. And your cakes are always so amazing.
Yesterday @ 8:07 am by Sally Hackney
Thanks and so glad you enjoyed!!

You've got this Jean, just put on that Super Cake Woman cape! :)
Yesterday @ 10:46 am by janell
Jean, take a deep breath and pull in the family to assist where they can. Good Luck
Yesterday @ 10:23 am by redtiaraprincess
Trying. Trying to get help where I can and doing as much prep as I can. Just really frustrated that some people can leave things for the last minute, so selfish that they are the only order and that I don't have other things going on!!
Yesterday @ 12:05 pm by cakeswithcharacter
Sorry to hear of your cake hell Jean! Hope things simmer down soon for you.
Yesterday @ 1:01 pm by cakesbycarla
You can do it Jean. Call me if you need help...I'm off Mon & Tues next week

Hi all. Well...sunshine again this morning. Cooler temps and hopefully it won't rain all thru the weekend. They keep changing their minds on that it seems. I keep worrying about the baby robbins getting knocked out of the nest. I think any day now they will be flying away.
 
 
 
BTW when you hand paint modeling chocolate do you use gel colors with lemon extract or lemon juice? I know it's hard to get a really clean, smooth finish with just regular petal dusts, etc. I'm not nearly ready to start painting yet but will need to know when I do. Have a great day all!
Yesterday @ 8:14 am by Sally Hackney
Morning Sally, powder color and coco butter works the best.
Yesterday @ 10:29 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Happy to hear you have some sunshine Sally!
Yesterday @ 10:45 am by janell
Morning Sally! We had rain this morning, now sun, but the winds are picking up and its getting a bit grey out!
Yesterday @ 12:04 pm by cakeswithcharacter
Kath where do I buy cocoa butter that isn't already colored? I saw the colored ones at GSA but they weren't the colors I needed. I didn't realize I could add dust to them. I'll go back and see if they have white and I can then get the dust colors I need. Do you use just regular petal dust???
Yesterday @ 12:42 pm by Sally Hackney
Liz Marek mentioned once you could use regular veg oil and powders or luster dust to paint modeling chocolate. Maybe experiment on a piece and see how it works?
Yesterday @ 12:58 pm by cakesbycarla
Sally I use lemon extract or vodak with my petal dust, if it seems to runny give a minute and it will thicken up for you . Not sure how it will work on chocolate , haven't done that yet.
Today @ 12:24 am by Sandys Sweets
There is a free tutitorial on craftsy, on painting on cakes from Erin Schaefgen.
Today @ 12:27 am by Sandys Sweets
Hi Sally! A beautiful start to the morning here today! It's so much easier to get up when the sun shines!!
Today @ 1:54 am by Justin Lynch
Thanks Sandy. The vodka and dust don't work well on chocolate. I used that when I did mother nature and it didn't adhere well to the chocolate.
Today @ 7:36 am by Sally Hackney
It's that whole oil and water thing - chocolate is oily so when you apply something water based it won't take. If you try the oil route tell me the results. I hope it will work.

It seems so unfair to the poor people of Moore, Shawnee and Newcastle that the weather continues to be horrible pouring with rain and thundering while they are trying to clean up and salvage. Anything that might have had a chance to be saved will probably be ruined by now.
 
 
 
Continuing to keep them in our prayers and for better weather. Mother nature needs to give it a rest, Oklahoma has suffered enough!
Yesterday @ 5:17 pm by janell
Mother nature can be cruel indeed.

Yes she has been Mother Rampage this week!

Walking in the yard the ground is so saturated and flooded and still raining with no end in site!

There was a programme on tv here last night about the tornado, it was heartbreaking! Some of the stories were awful. All the people pulled together and helped one another along which was warming.
Today @ 1:52 am by Justin Lynch
Yes Justin, they are amazing and resilient.
Today @ 2:01 am by kerry
I am still shaking from the video of the elderly lady being interviewed in front of her destroyed home and then hearing her little dog cry from the rubble and them pulling him out alive. Bless their little hearts.....all of them.

This has been a really crazy weather week. I just can't imagine experiencing that.

Morning my friends. Starting out gorgeous here but will turn to rain later today. A few storms passed by yesterday (remnants of the tornado storm) but they weren't severe. Now they're saying we may have rain all the way thru Memorial day. Swell. Hope you all have a great day!! Take care.
 
 
 
They had us under all kinds of alerts yesterday (unusual for us) and we ended up with a few light showers. Not complaining, but the worry was nerve racking to say the least. Hope you get some sunshine in there. Have a good day!
Wednesday @ 8:27 am by janell
Morning Sally, we have light showers here also. I hate to day it, but we really need the rain.
Wednesday @ 9:31 am by kathredtiaraprincess
We were in severe thunderstorm warning and tornado watch for a few hours last night. Luckily it was just a half hour without power and that's all the trouble we got from it. Hope you have a good day Sally - try not to let it get you down.
Wednesday @ 9:39 am by cakesbycarla
Hi Sally! Lovely weather here too today; we have a bank holiday weekend; will it be a washout? Watch this space!
Wednesday @ 10:35 am by Justin Lynch
Hi Sally! yes, we have that weather due here this afternoon. Bringing cooler temps too.

Good Morning Cake Junkies, I hit the ground running. Max was not himself this morning, Mike is home doing a few things around the house and keeping an eye on Max. I think all the hammering, walls coming down and the list goes on is taking a toll on his quiet life. I think we have a few days to go before I can do a deep cleaning. So far I am happy with the remodel. I can't wait to see how the tiles look in this bathroom.
 
 
 
Oh I hope Max is okay. Believe me I understand the worry associated with a sick pup. I'm sure the upheaval hasn't helped but keep a close eye. They can go down hill so quickly. Good thoughts!!! I know the remodel is going to be awesome!!
Wednesday @ 10:10 am by Sally Hackney
Best wishes for Max. Have a good day!

Well, maybe all my good stress is catching up with me. I came down with some crud on Friday night and still fighting it. The sinus infection/coughing combo type. Feeling some better today but still tired and I have so much to pack and do around here. Going to take some cold medicine and drink some coffee. Have a good day folks!
 
 
 
Morning Carla, sorry your not your normal self. Use a nedi pot , it works very well for the sinus. I will send you some espresso with a big hug to make you feel better. Remember one box at a time.
Wednesday @ 9:45 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Oh Carla...I'm so sorry. What a time to feel awful. It's probably the weather messing with you. Take care my friend.
Wednesday @ 10:11 am by Sally Hackney
Hope it passes quickly Carla. Like Katharine said, one box at a time.
Wednesday @ 10:20 am by janell
Hi Carla! Hopefully the lurgey won't hang around too long; you can collapse and flake out when you arrive at your new home!

Thanks everyone!

Another sad day. Seems like every week something devastating happens and we are all saddened by what has happened. So very sorry for the loss of life and devastation from the tornado. I know all our prayers and thoughts are with those folks on this sad morning.
 
 
 
On a lighter note. For those of you who loved "Frozen Planet"....either record or watch the new series "North America". The photography is amazing and the entire thing is fascinating.
Tuesday @ 7:36 am by Sally Hackney
The news just breaks my heart Sally and my nerves are shot. I have family in Moore, OKC, and broken arrow as well as friends in the surrounding areas. I've read notes that they are all alright, thankfully. Prayers to all those who have lost loved ones, looking for their loved ones, and for those who are still in that monsters path.
Tuesday @ 8:06 am by janell
It is so sad, I just keep saying prayers for them. I guess living in the upper mid-west, I don't understand how these homes do not have basements. I know many of the homes have the storm shelters but they have to leave their homes to get to them. Is there a reason for not having a basement?
Tuesday @ 10:54 am by kathredtiaraprincess
It's super sad; I just wish there was more that could be done to prevent these disasters.
Tuesday @ 2:06 pm by Justin Lynch
Kath it's because they have so much rock base. It's the same in Texas....basements are unheard of because it would cost a fortune to try to dig thru the rock to make the basement.

I took a picture of the baby robbins on my arbor. The mama got really mad at me when I took it but I couldn't resist! They are getting so big!! Hope it shows up....I tried to zoom in as well as I could.

Good Morning Cake Junkies, it is a beautiful morning here, we are expecting some storms, but nothing major. We are all praying for friend/families affected by the tornados in the past two day. I saw there are many ways to help thru valid donation sites. We need caution when wanting to help as there are many crewel people who will set up scams to steal from you as you are acting on emotion. If you decide to donate $ go to the American Red Cross and other sites set-up thru your local news stations as they wi
 
 
 
Sad but true. Have a great day Kath. I know you are smiling :0)
Tuesday @ 11:12 am by cakesbycarla
Such good advice Kath. Crooks love to take advantage of tender hearts.
Tuesday @ 12:03 pm by Sally Hackney
Hi Katharine. I was watching the story of the tornado on the news this morning; it's just awful and saddening!
Tuesday @ 2:04 pm by Justin Lynch
Very true Katharine. I do hope that those in need are taken care of and the money that is raised does not go in to any organizations pocket.

Truly devastating what happened!

Hi Dianne, I had the same problem. Do not log off and you should be okay
Monday @ 8:39 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Hi Dianne - you know I had to switch computers and for some reason after I did that Fantourage doesn't keep me logged in anymore. It might be my browser - IDK! LOL! Hope you're doing well. Glad to see you're back to say hello!

Another pic of the bathroom. So glad to have some color in the house after 5 years (this September) of white walls. This color is a bit wild for me but it's color! Have a great day!
 
 
 
Cute monkeys!!
Monday @ 8:19 am by Sally Hackney
That is color all right, love the green but the monkeys are too cute.

Good Morning Cake Junkies, it is a new day and I have a bathroom wall with multiple colors (one is too pinkish, yellowish, orangish). I am so glad Behr has samples. I never thought I would ever go with blue in my bathroom, but I found this greyish blue that might work. I have been painting a piece of drywall in the garage also to see how the colors will look with the tiles. Somehow that blue screams pick me. Remember to smile it makes us happy.
 
 
 
Our powder room would be complete had I not wanted the door moved at the last minute. I spent the last two evenings spackling the door way (it is a good thing I am a cake lady as the spackle is pretty smooth so far). The walls I painted will need some touch up as will the little alcove we just closed in. That will happen after we have the closet door changed out today. The travertien (sp) sink will need to be treated as will the floor tiles when I finish but it is looking good for a small space.
Monday @ 8:55 am by kathredtiaraprincess
Oh Kath...I have to chuckle every time I read your post. If there were ever two peas in a pod it is you and I. You fret over decorating stuff just like I do...you love dogs ...you are a cake fanatic....the list just goes on and on. I'm so glad you're my friend!!
Monday @ 9:20 am by Sally Hackney
Samples are a huge help. Very often the paint card held up to your wall doesn't really give you a good idea of how the light will play on your paint in that particular room's environment. And painting on the scrap of drywall is good too - you can paint a swatch and hold it up in there and bring it around to other things to match - brilliant!
Monday @ 9:43 am by cakesbycarla
Please post a picture when you're done, I like the sound of that blue.
Monday @ 10:19 am by janell
I love blue, to my favourite colour! I'm simple like that! Lol. I'd have blue in every room if I could!

Morning all! Happy Monday and I pray all our friends out there are safe this morning after all the storms. Happy to report Sissy is getting better day by day. My vet called a specialist this morning as we were having some issues with the meds. He told us what to do so I am feeling much better about it all.
 
 
 
Oh and I got the stuff in for my OSSAS project. I just keep looking at it and saying..."Am I really capable of doing this?" I figure I need to let Sissy get back on level ground before I start as I will need to be really focused.
Monday @ 9:24 am by Sally Hackney
Glad to hear she's continuing to improve. Glad to hear your thinking of your OSSAS project. I know it'll be great!
Monday @ 9:40 am by cakesbycarla
Your project for OSSAS will be awesome Sally!!! Happy to hear Sissy is continuing to do better.

Evening all! This week has been like a whirlwind; London trip was a great success and the students had a blast! But, I was glad to get home and into my own bed last night. PoA for this weekend; proof read my previous assignment, start my next (boo hoo) and hopefully, start to decorate a cake lard with a sunset theme ready for an elephant's head cake I have coming up! Happy Friday!
 
 
 
Cake board even!
