What does fondant taste like?
It's made of sugar and water. It's the best way to get a nice smooth surface for decorating, plus the cakes stay fresh longer. I've made fondant-covered cakes [link] and I frost them first and then put on the fondant.
And we live to fight another day.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
f I hear of a Bush motorcade happening anywhere near me, I'm so going to go throw my shoes in front of it. I so wouldn't mind walking home in my stocking feet for that.
Sure, but the walk home from Gitmo is a looooong walk.
CPR (Crazy Polish Roommate) was freaked out by our bathmat. I'd always find the bathroom floor soaking wet and the cotton mat shoved in the corner. I finally asked her and angrily told me she didn't want to get it wet and wanted to know why on EARTH I was leaving it there.
For know knowing we can blame the cultural differences inherent in the P. For working herself into a lather over it? That would be the C.

It's cold and pouring rain. I just want to spend the day at home in my jammies sipping cocoa and watching movies.
So true. And our house is chilly so I had the heat on this morning. Noah is confused by the rain. It's pretty adorable.

I feel like having huge amounts of food for lunch. Maybe panini and a salad?

We're looking at subzero temps with severe windchill. O doesn't have school until this afternoon but man, I hate the thought of him going out in -25 WC. It's just from the house to the bus and the bus to the school but brrrrrr!
It was -14 WC here. I drove them up to the bus stop even though Em was all for just going in the cold. She was quite relieved that school was not canceled.

Ah. This puts a whole new light on it. I'm a fan of the candy corn, I must say. And the blood reddy-ness of the Buffista cake kind of reminds me of candy corn. Okay, now I want it.
I'm curious about the stake. That must be fondant only, right? You couldn't bake cake dough in that shape and then cover it, eh?
Ginger, that's a lovely cake you made. I'm so impressed by that art.

Yesterday, it was 50 degrees. Today, my headphone cord actually froze on the way to work.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Noah is confused by the rain. It's pretty adorable.
It's adorable even picturing this, I must say.
