Thomas the Train. I semi-redeemed the horrible mess. When I tried to make the 3-D train I did a number of things wrong: 1)Used self-rising flour instead of all purpose, 2)Left out the baking powder, 3)Failed to securly tie down the top of the pan. No, I didn't take a picture of the huge mess in my oven but I did take a picture of the finished products.
I got up early the next morning and made a 2-D version of Thomas because I felt so awful about messing up the train.
Next up was the emergeny baby shower cake. It was for a girl in our office and she was put on modified bed rest so we had to bump up the office shower to Tuesday. I made a giant baby rattle and two little bassinets with fondant babies. My husband did the babies...he's so great. I'll post pictures of that later.
After the baby shower cake on Tuesday was a lingerie shower cake on Friday. I thought it turned out SUPER cute. However, due to my delierium from lake of sleep I failed to take a picture. Hopefully one of the girls got an image for me.
Lastly was a celebration cake for a company here in town. They needed enough for about 350 people. I did a 3-tier butter recipe with strawberry filling and two (2 layer) chocolate sheet cakes with cookies & cream filling. I heard everyone enoyed the cakes so that was a relief.
I have one more cake to do for this Wednesday. I'm part of the Outreach Team on our Women's Ministry at church and we are doing a Valentine's cake with cards for the local girls home. There are about 5 girls that are ages 14-18 so I'm thinking I'll do something a little more sophistacted and cute. I'm excited about this one!
Now it's time for laundry. More blogging to come later.
