This 24 hour labor of love is number 3 for the year so the blog is reborn.<br />I wasn't too thrilled with the results of this little cake but Joi being the wonderful person she is; dismissed the fact that I showed up to breakfast with disheveled hair and pink hands and gushed over the fact that I made a cake instead of buying something out of a display case.. love you girl!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U8JUWra0aKg/TtHKLFuc3SI/AAAAAAAABGw/vP0UXj5M31E/s1600/flowers.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 166px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U8JUWra0aKg/TtHKLFuc3SI/AAAAAAAABGw/vP0UXj5M31E/s320/flowers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679542896955284770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kBKqP4pd70E/TtHKZ4_7_rI/AAAAAAAABG8/_mIJWbbNsBs/s1600/jois.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kBKqP4pd70E/TtHKZ4_7_rI/AAAAAAAABG8/_mIJWbbNsBs/s320/jois.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679543151237004978" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4411659437850669158-366843551268355392?l=trackintuck.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ashtuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04741471177681993059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411659437850669158.post-56556868447381427222010-06-30T15:50:00.000-07:002011-11-26T22:08:49.005-08:0011.12.11<br />My cousin has gotten me addicted to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> and this fall everyone I'm following seems to have wedding fever. There so many amazing cakes out there; needless to say I'm inspired and am wanting to test my limits. When she called discouraged about not being able to find someone to make her cake; I jumped at the opportunity and then realized I had a week in a half.<br /><br />It was a great experience but definitely one that brought in a couple grey hairs- I was so glad to have my mom there when the final assembly came around<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iiVGx4DjkGU/TtHQx_JTBwI/AAAAAAAABH4/U1OVFdwaotI/s1600/leaves%2B5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iiVGx4DjkGU/TtHQx_JTBwI/AAAAAAAABH4/U1OVFdwaotI/s320/leaves%2B5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679550162273502978" border="0" /></a><br />my first use of gumpaste... it's amazing!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRGu2wcck1M/TtHQ2206xdI/AAAAAAAABIE/sp-nWeSnSiA/s1600/leaves%2Band%2Bacorns%2B2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRGu2wcck1M/TtHQ2206xdI/AAAAAAAABIE/sp-nWeSnSiA/s320/leaves%2Band%2Bacorns%2B2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679550245939889618" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fc9-DOehH9I/TtHQ7V5jNDI/AAAAAAAABIQ/nadABYrbpW8/s1600/acorns%2Bphase%2B1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fc9-DOehH9I/TtHQ7V5jNDI/AAAAAAAABIQ/nadABYrbpW8/s320/acorns%2Bphase%2B1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679550323000292402" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kLQnM4pe5WQ/TtHQ_VTfC7I/AAAAAAAABIc/cAIvO7VUwes/s1600/cake%2Bdone%2B2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kLQnM4pe5WQ/TtHQ_VTfC7I/AAAAAAAABIc/cAIvO7VUwes/s320/cake%2Bdone%2B2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679550391560113074" border="0" /></a><br />08.18.11<br />August rolled around so it's time for numero duos!... this year we kicked off Andy's birthday with a good ol' southern cook-out: ribs, pulled pork, brisket and all the fixings. Everyone was kind enough to bring a sampling of Andy's favorite beverage and I even sneaked some into his Banjo cake: Italian vanilla with whiskey lime frosting... you could hear the dueling banjos playing as the night progressed - good times<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HSLaXgx8Q3I/TtHPFsACK8I/AAAAAAAABHs/oB3P0bJb1LM/s1600/banjo%2Bcake%2B3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 166px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HSLaXgx8Q3I/TtHPFsACK8I/AAAAAAAABHs/oB3P0bJb1LM/s320/banjo%2Bcake%2B3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679548301708504002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dRzonM54KTM/TCvLAJyXREI/AAAAAAAAA4c/xiKl80L-Dbo/s1600/wasatch+back+064.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dRzonM54KTM/TCvK4wtTyPI/AAAAAAAAA4U/p2m_T1BH704/s1600/wasatch+back+047.JPG"><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4411659437850669158-5655686844738142722?l=trackintuck.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ashtuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04741471177681993059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411659437850669158.post-36538753865476092342008-07-22T10:49:00.000-07:002011-11-26T22:09:51.289-08:0008.18.10<br />They claim on the Food Network that fondant isn't that hard to work with. I put my amateur skills to the test and have decided- that's why they are professionals.<br /><br />Cake 1: topsy-turvy climber to celebrate Andy's birthday and all the fun activities he enjoys<br /><br />It being my first, was a slow process - late night 80's music and encouragement from my roommate kept me going. I have to say the Rosemary Lemon cake, if it didn't look good sure tasted just fine.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RAVO-hBJSYc/TtHMlwS0QiI/AAAAAAAABHg/XBbtXqD1ke8/s1600/andy%2B016.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RAVO-hBJSYc/TtHMlwS0QiI/AAAAAAAABHg/XBbtXqD1ke8/s320/andy%2B016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679545554081956386" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8dbACRF04mM/TtHMh4G2k7I/AAAAAAAABHU/DVmpJF7hDRA/s1600/andy%2B013.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8dbACRF04mM/TtHMh4G2k7I/AAAAAAAABHU/DVmpJF7hDRA/s320/andy%2B013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679545487459783602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F_WkiMqNcwU/TtHMdMHq12I/AAAAAAAABHI/z_EhO3jniKE/s1600/andy%2B014.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F_WkiMqNcwU/TtHMdMHq12I/AAAAAAAABHI/z_EhO3jniKE/s320/andy%2B014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679545406932572002" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dRzonM54KTM/SIYdoQqKFAI/AAAAAAAAAL0/YIe3yzceFP0/s1600-h/DSC02119.JPG"></a><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><br /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4411659437850669158-3653875386547609234?l=trackintuck.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ashtuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04741471177681993059noreply@blogger.com0
