I've decided that I need to blog more often. Who knows if I'll actually follow through with it, but I've at least admitted that it needs to happen. Since I don't have enough opportunities to bake and post photos for you to enjoy I have to seek out other interesting stuff to tell you about. So... here is a cool video I came across today. How to peel garlic in under 10 seconds. Who knows if it works but it's worth a shot!

Happy Birthday, Paige!
My friend Paige's birthday is just 6 days before mine. We decided that instead of doing two birthday parties with our girlfriends from the church we should combine and share our birthday celebration. What a great idea! We had our guests bring wine or cheese instead of gifts and we had since a sophisticated grown up birthday...oh except we wore silly party hats. Here's a look at our cake I made which was one of the more frustrating cakes I've made to date!!! The frosting was too hot, I ran out of frosting on top so I had to make fondant flowers (which I'd never done before) to cover the gap, and then to top it all off once it was finished and I was taking photos I hit the cake with the poster board and had to re-do the ruffles. I'm so amazed it actually turned out. It was moments away from meeting the trash can several times. 
Oh and remember those party hats I mentioned? Here's Paige and I with her chihuahua, Pepe, all wearing our party hats!
I can't wait for next year's party!

Hi there blog followers!
I recently had someone ask me if there is a way to subscribe my email to my blog. Well there wasn't, but now there is! Down towards the bottom on the left hand side of my page there is an email subscription box. Just type your email address in there and it will send you a confirmation email with a link you have to click on to subscribe to my blog. After that you'll get an email every time I make a new post so you don't miss out on anything exciting. Good luck! ...Hopefully it works!
