I love your blog and your pi...Loved this tutorial!. I love your blog and your pictures! I like to take pictures of nature and living things like children and animals too.<br /> Your momma has two smart and beautiful daughters...but you got it from her cause she's beautiful too and I am serious about these commendable comments. <br />I have learned a little about cake decorating that I didn't know when I use to do some for my family, but they turned out okay. I know what you mean about the left over icing. I sure is good but I get too much of a sugar high from getting the stuff on my fingers and can't eat much of the left in the bags. I don't decorate cakes anymore because my wrists won't take all the squeezing needed to get the icing just right on the cake. I only baked for my family and grand children. They always loved them. I have damaged my hands through being a farmer and a farmer's wife. We grew everything we ate,,,just about, even down to the beef and pork. He butchered the beasts and I was the packer and wrapper.in getting it in the freezer. Sure do miss all of that fresh canned produce and home grown meat. Nuff said about our being foodies. <br />I made a really cute little mouse cake for my youngest grandson for one of his birthday parties. He loved Stewart Little, so I took my round stainless still bowls out of the cabinet and decided I would try my hand at doing one last decorated cake just for him. I used white icing, of course and the bowls were two different sizes so I used them for the head and body. I used iced vanilla wafers for the ears with pink icing on the front side of the ears. I made him a little pink nose and stuck a half eaten cookie in the place where his mouth but I promise I didn't bite it off, I broke it and then ate the other part of the cookie. I know what you mean about spandex and comfort and eating all of those scraps from the cakes. I had some plastic beading thread so I cut some of that to use for the whiskers. Jack loved the cake and was amazed by the realistic whiskers. It really takes someone with a sense of humor and imagination to make the cakes like you and other people like you do. If I could go back and have a do over, I might have went into the business but I really enjoyed being a farmer's wife who also worked for your mom and in sewing factories. I don't think decorated cakes were in demand as much as they are now anyhow. Soooo with back problems and tired old hands and not getting any younger, I leave the decorating to people like you. That way, I don't have a mess to clean up either. <br />Keep up the good work, MEMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
