Failed at Flow

November 2, 2010 by Jenn

I have failed at my first attempt at colour flow.  This is a technique that is a special decorating method used to make detailed icing decorations for cakes and I thought that it would be simple enough.  SO WRONG!

All you SUPPOSEDLY need to do is outline an imagine that is overlayed with wax paper with the colour flow icing, wait a day or two and VIOLA, you have a hardened image to use to decorate.  I attempted to do this with simple horse head images that I printed off.  *Using Google Images is really good for finding simple images*

Needless to say, I have abandoned the colour flow technique this time, I will try again and I’m off to search for a new horse cupcake decoration technique that I can pull together for my mom’s birthday TOMORROW!  ARGGGG!

Secret Daughter – Shilpi Somaya Gowda

A volunteer at the hospital noticed that I was reading this book, and she had nothing but great things to say about it, and about Shilpi Somaya Gowda’s other two novel’s.  I’m planning to find those to read as well.

So far, it’s pretty gripping . . . gets you interested right from the start.

Champagne Toasts

October 25, 2010 by Jenn

This is it!  The inaugural entry into complete narcissism.  I can hardly wait to indulge…and indulge you!

The site is finally up and running.  After a couple of brief setbacks “Oh my god, why does computer text look like another language?”, and initial shock…”Ewww, it can’t look like that!” . . . Cookies, Cupcakes and Cardio is here!  And I actually like it . . . not as much as THE ONE template that I REALLY wanted, but oh well…this one’s pink, and cute.  Anything pink is cute.

How did this idea all get started?  Let’s blame the KitchenAid Mixer on this one.  $200 later for the Mixer and $7.49 for the domain and an obsession has begun.
