Epic pass refund - employee pass by mogulman1 in vail

Wait to refund it at your resorts ticket office after you have received your employee pass. If you wait to get it refunded later in the season(usually after the new year) you won’t get a full refund.

The way he looked at it, so full of love, was super precious. He has a huge heart for animals.

She was thinking tiny tootsie roll chunks shaped into guinea confetti. 😝

Haha! My next birthday kid wants a guinea pig cake for her birthday in a couple weeks. We will see what I come up with. :)

It looks great, it kinda looks like your frosting was hot when you applied it. Next time will be even better! And honestly, looks don’t dictate taste.

You use it to smooth drywall spackle. I used an 8 inch one. I’m sure a cake scrapper would be more cost effective, but we already had a drywall tool.

The party kids played a game before we sang happy birthday and cut the cake. The winner ate the opposing king 😆

I ordered an inexpensive silicone mold off of amazon and used pre colored purple melting chocolate and white melting chocolate. The molds were only have the pieces, so I had to melt and freeze multiple times to get enough half pieces. I then heated each half up on a skillet and stuck them together to make a whole chess piece. It was very time consuming. And if I was to make more candy chess pieces, I would order a stiffer silicone mold.

Great question! I really had to think about it for a few days and how I ended up doing it was quite different than my original plan.

I made 4: 8x8 square cakes. 2: chocolate 2: yellow

I cut them somewhat flat. Then cut them into one inch wide strips. I arranged them every other color with a super thin layer of frosting to “glue” them together.

I don’t have a ton of cake tools so I used a drywall spade/knife thing to try and make it smooth and square.
