Definitely My Bad

No Saturday post, I know, I know. I did bake those cookies, though, that I wanted to. I just haven't finished the detail work...
When I do finish the cookies, I PROMISE, to post up everything that I haven't yet. No myspace, no webkinz, no yahoo e-mail, no cakecentral.com on posting day until I do! You have my word!
Also, Taste of Home magazine is having a creative cookie contest, and I think I'm going to enter...

820 views! Dang!

SORRY!

I know I haven't posted in FOREVER, but don't worry; I've cleared the calendar to post all the new blogs (which I have written out on notebook paper) and upload all of my pictures. I've made some pretty gumpaste flowers that look half-way decent, too!

I hope you are looking forward to Saturday as much as I am! =)

(I'm also making sugar cookies!)

Just wanted to add to this that I just saw my page counter: 656 times somebody has looked at this blog! *Gasp* Now, I know about 100 of those have to be me, when I look at the page after I add something new, to make sure everything looks already. But, wow! That a lot of cake looking! =]

Ace of Cakes is my SHOW!

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 Radcliff AND Rupert Grint, and (bigger girlish squeal) make the Hogwarts cake!! (Well, he didn't actually do all of that architecture stuff, but he was still there making napalm sugar candy and whatnot).

I would have to say that this is, by far, my favorite Ace of Cakes to date!

The Cake Blog Song

I've Been Working on the Rail Road Cake Blog

I've been workin' on my blog
all the live long day
I've been posting all my pictures
to get it out of the way
Don't you like all the roses
and the ginger-bread house?
Don't you like all the roses
da da da da da

...I pretty much left it off there. I told you I was creative =)

This lady is amazing!

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 do that! It looks much simpler than a buttercream or royal icing rose, which, although pretty, still look a bit sad when I make them.

(Ew, fuzzy picture, sorry!!)

I would love to get the gumpaste kit that Wilton makes. Michael's sells them for $20, but I have a 50% off coupon, dropping the price down to $10. If only I could get a ride out to the shopping center where Michael's is located, I'd be in business. Did I mention that my grandparents gave me gumpaste as part of my Christmas gifts? Probably not since I haven't posted since before Christmas. All I need now are the tools (and the practice!) and I can be a gumpaste flower queen! ...Or at least try to be one!
