Grey tape
·
I inherited a lot of things from Meemaw, but I'm not sure if grey tape is one of them. However, yesterday I summoned my inner-Meemaw and went to town. Lucy wanted to build a dollhouse out of paper but this was, for some unknown reason, unacceptable to me. We needed bigger and better...we needed GREY TAPE!
So, armed with a diaper box, capri sun box and 5 bucks worth of grey tape (which was actually pink and purple) we now have the most awesomest dollhouse ever!!
(That's pizza on her face, by the way).
The interior is still in need of some renovations but it currently has a bed, a couch (with decorative pillow) and kleenex curtains (thanks to pa).
I'm going to bet that Meemaw is quite happy with her girls right now :)
Shhhhh....

Congratulations...I made you something ugly!

So, I made them a little engagement present. I have really been wanting to try putting fondant on a cake so I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I was WRONG! The good news is that I have learned that I should stick to sewing. The bad news is that the cake was totally ugly and crooked. The cake balls were yummy though (and totally what I had for dinner tonight).
I was so proud that I evened out the top of the cake before layering them, thinking that this would keep them even but it didn't. I think I needed to cool them in the fridge first. BUT, I don't like cold cake so I didn't want to put the cakes in the fridge. I think this is my whole problem with fondant...it's pretty but it doesn't make a tasty cake. I made my own fondant out of marshmallows. It tasted fine but not something I would want on a cake. Plus it just made my cake look like a big marshmallow.
Yes...that is a Shiner in the background...this was a stressful process!
Jaimie and Shidan could not have been nicer about it though. In the end, it truly is the thought that counts.
