Birthday Cake


Okay Here's Ro's Birthday Cake I made. I have discovered that in creating this very simple B-Day Cake that I hate decorating cakes! I see others preform the task with joyous jubliation...others chat on the latest techniques, classes and websites on cakes...I look at the possblitiy Wow I simply thought that there was no crafty, thing that I could not or would not want to conquer...I knitted,sewed, painted, did that paper quilling thing etc. But I found it... Cakes So hats off to you Ace of Cakes.. with your fancy little art degrees doing clever crafty edible confections. It is not for me! From start to end it took four hours but it was so agonizing! I thinks its the pressure of having to create something for someone that you know everyone else will see and measure it more like its an all or nothing deal.. Its either a total sucess or a complete failure there's not alot of space in between and everyone knows it.

Crepes


Oh My daughter(s) do love Crepes. At times when I feel homey and maternal, I'll ask Aly what would she like me to fix for breakfast.. "Grapes or Pancakes" that translates to Crepes. Those thin eggy delectible flat heavenly crepes. For ME lemon juice and sugar--The Girls blueberries and whip cream. Or Mostly nothing in them at all..by the time they get to the table we are all full from inhaling the rejects...okay so I purposely mess them up just so we can partake. We have the standard tools of course and I dont have the skills for creating those puppies without my handy dandy crepe maker, manufacture's recipe and a blender.
