I posted this in a different thread - but it fits here: At my second show in business I thought about walking out before I even started. I showed up 1 hour befor the show, as I had told the host I would do. She was in dirty sweats and a ripped t-shirt. Her cabinet doors were all over the...

Kate, I'm right with you. I have been trying to figure that out for years. That said, I also alter my language around my kids. Not that I usually swear that much. My son likes to say "Oh tarter sauce!" and "Oh barnicals!" - he watches Sponge Bob.

Making the rubber molds of the bottles took the longest. I think there were 7 layers and each had to dry. This was actually a pretty easy cake compared to a few of the other ones I have done. I would guess that it took about 6-8 hours not including the molds. But, I space it out over the...

I belong to cakecentral.com, just what we all need, another forum to spend hours on. They had a great tutorial on how to make the sugar bottles - and lots of other stuff. I made a mold of a real beer bottle, peeled the mold off, melted down the sugar/corn syrup and flavored it, poured it into...

Thanks! Now I have to figure out how to top it for my next cake.

Here is my latest: Father's Day 2009 Cake - Sugar Beer Bottles in Cooler. The bottles and ice are made from sugar/corn syrup, the lid is chocolate covered rice crispy treats and the cake is covered in buttercream and then candy clay. The caps and lables are from real beer bottles...

Too cute!!

It was HUGE. I used 2 full sheet cakes (one chocolate and one funfetti) and cut out the circle, half from each. We had lots left over, but Zack, and his dad, loved it.

Wow, there have been some really nice cakes posted since I last looked here. Love the cupcakes. Here is my latest cake. i was for my son's 5th birthday. He is obsessed with the X-Box 360 game Sonic Unleashed. This is basically a screen shot of the game. I had him play it and then literally...

I think I have made this at 5 or more shows and it is always a hit. There is usually very little to non left at the end of the party.

Very cool - looks great with the lit candles!

She can return it to get her $$ back, or get something else. What specifically is the problem? I have had mine for almost 2 years with no problems.

I was just reading through the lists people are passing around. Many of them seem funny and very innocent, but I'm not so sure. I try to be careful with personal info, so I was a little unsure of listing my maiden name with my married name. I worried someone would have access to my kids...

The sink is a good idea!

Funny, I'll be posting this in our breakroom at Home Depot tomorrow.
