I might start a business...
So last month I made my debut as a birthday cake maker when I got a request from my favorite 8 year old (Makinna.) She really wanted a pony cake, specifically a pony head cake she saw on-line with pink frosting, red sprinkles, and licorice hair. Eric and I accepted the challenge and took well over two hours to come up with this:
Yes, I know it looks like a wolf, and strangely like something you might see in "The Godfather", but it was the hit of the party!
One month later my favorite 7 year old (Lydii) came to Eric and I with the same request. She wanted a really cool cake for her birthday! At first she wanted a monkey party, but at the last minute changes her mind and has a fairy party instead. Eric had to work that day, so I had to be creative and use MY VERY OWN CAKE MAKING SKILLS. Two hours, and one container of frosting later I come up with this:
I think it's my best work yet!
In October my favorite 4 year old (Cole) will have a birthday. He wants a Harry Potter cake and I am already thinking of ideas.
And this has nothing to do with birthdays, but I was curious, what are the presets on your radio? Mine include 102.7 (Air One, a Christian station), 94.7 (Alternative) 101.1 (Rock) and 98.7 (Country, because I have to go back to my roots.)

i don't know how to program my radio and only think about learning while i am driving and that would be unsafe . . . so i always have my radio set to one station: 90.7 KBOO community radio/free speech radio news. otherwise i am just listening to a cd. due to this, i am completely unfamiliar with any new songs that have come out in the last year or so and am slowly become of those adults who is out of touch with the culture . . .

Why yes it is the Demarle sunflower mold... it was very hard to frost too!

Please note that these are in the order I have them set - which is in order of place on the dial rather than in order of importance
94.7
100.3
105.1
107.5
I would like to complain about the variety of music played on the middle two stations. I was listening from 7-10 this morning (ONLY 3 HOURS PEOPLE!!!) and I heard at least 5 songs twice.
That is NOT ok.
