A Little Spoilage in the Bakery! LOL


Ok, I am a very hard worker but I do have to admit that I get spoiled once in a while!  I just have to show you what an awesome guy I have!  Yesterday when I was designing this ornate cross cookie, I drew out my shape on template paper and then hand cut my cookies.  When I got home from the gym this morning, my custom designed cookie cutter was laying on the table!!  He's too good to me!


This is the template I cut out to make










this cookie:













And, here is my custom made cookie cutter! (out of food grade aluminum, of course!)
Thanks Ron!!  Love Ya!

I know this picture is older than some I've already posted but I was just looking at them again remembering how much fun the kids had that day. Funny, I don't even remember cleaning up the mess but I remember how much laughter was spread throughout the house that day!!

Ok, so I mentioned the first banquet was cancelled, and 2 weeks later I did it all again. This is the second cake. We refilled the table several times that night! I didn't have to take ANY food home - it was a big hit!

Disney Cross Country Champs Cake

This cake stands for SO much more than just a First and Second Place Championship win for the Girls and Boys Herculaneum Cross Country teams!
When my 18 year old daughter, Sarah, asked me to make a Topsy Turvy Cake for the Cross Country Banquet I couldn't tell her no even though I had never made one before. (Any of you who have ever made a topsy turvy cake know how much time is involved--especially your first!)
She asked if I could do a Disney theme and without hesitation, I said "Sure!" (not really knowing what I was getting myself into! LOL)
On a Thursday, the day before the banquet, Sarah and her boyfriend, Collin, who is also a XC Runner (our #2 Varsity Runner, I might add) were snowed in with me while I was working on this cake. They were in the dining room and kitchen almost the entire time, encouraging me, complementing me, and sometimes helping me!
The number tag is a replica of the one Sarah wore the day she ran at Disney World where the heat index was well over 105 degrees. There is a blackcat around the corner ( I will get another photo uploaded at a later date), the team's mascot.
Needless to say, the banquet was cancelled on Friday night due to the bad weather. So I toted this cake to their coaches house and he made sure to invite them all over for a piece. (it weighed 15 lbs!)
That day in the kitchen with my kids will be etched in my memory forever!
Get your kids in the kitchen with you and don't worry about the mess - It will always cleans up later! The memories you make and the conversations you will have are PRICELESS!!!
