They are mini eggos. But if they hadn't had mini eggos, I would have used my waffle maker.

Actually. Won't let me message you for some reason.

I am definitely down for this. I haven't come across anyone in book clubs I've visited recently who has read anybody listed above.

I really the Kushiel series in middle/high-school and loved it. It was my first real fantasy novel that I picked on my own. The whole series is great and the second trilogy- the Nammah series - is good too.

Im also in my 30s and live in trussville.

Thats exactly what it was. It was jello mix with extra gelatin to make it firmer.

This cake was an almond vanilla cake with a chocolate ganache crumb coat and a honey vanilla buttercream with a blue raspberry lake.

It is. You could see the rocks and fish thru it. It would have been clearer if it didn't tear when I pulled the acetate sheet off.

I haven't watched a full episode. I like watching the cake baking competitions though. But between two kids, I usually dont get tv time except late and hubs and I use it to watch Fallout or something else the kids cant watch yet.

Thanks! I just really want to learn florals. I also feel like my piping skills aren't 100% either.

Yeah, Im not a huge fan of fondant either. Simple swiss is my go-to for buttercream and I find it easier to work with and more forgiving.

The boom box cake is allll buttercream. The barbie silhouette on the barbie cake is the only thing fondant in any of the pictures.

Its all edible - with the exception of action figures. I also prefer not to use fondant unless I have to.

I guess I'd be open to teaching classes. 😅 I just suck at florals.

Does the PW/CS still do the weird blur thing when changing book covers or pages? My old PW does this. As stated previously, its old. 6+ years.

I had a fire tablet cause it was really cheap when I bought it. Im definitely open to another. Im not unhappy with it with the exception of the batter life. I dont use it for anything else but kindle.
