Tonight we had pesto pasta for dinner , i will make rice krispies squares for tomorrow night .Friday nights we go to Mike and Stephanie's house to play cards . On the menu for tomorrow night it will be Italian sausage and i think salad.

The picture i posted is the cake i made for my son's first birthday , it was 4 cakes high, chocolate with butter cream frosting and fondant . I colour the fondant and painted the letters with gel food coloring . the tigger, piglet and bees are made of fondant colored the same way. Colouring the fondant takes a little time and muscle but i personally think its worth the efforts. The lid of the jar is basically the top layer of the cake that i previously cut to make the cake even . just covert that and ''Voila''. That was my second big project cake so has you can probably see it is not perfect .

You can make your own fondant , i use the marshmallow one . Marshmallow ,powdered sugar and a few tablespoons of water and you got rolled fondant . You will also need some shortening to keep it from sticking to your fingers or the bowl. I will be listing all recipes soon but in the mean time they are all pretty easy to find on the web. Well Evan is waking up i gotta go , ill be back soon .

Good night all!
