Why I don’t buy gum paste ... Egg whites $1.25 Icing sugar $2.00 CMC Powder $.75 Total $4 for 888 grams of gum paste that took me 10 minutes to make! So easy! I’ll be using this for my cake orders all month!!

Congratulations Cara & Alain

I have discovered that all but one of my client documents have disappeared!!! The one document that remains is not the current version I posted in April 2020. I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this might be putting on my clients. Now that I am aware of the issue, and I have an actual computer to work on, I will recreate the missing notes when I take my holiday at the end of the month. I will also be reviewing the terms of service on my invoice to make sure I have covered all the bases there. This comes at the same time I am working on new program ideas for monthly subscriptions, rental pieces, reworking photo albums, and moving back into teaching. Thank you for your patience during this constructive time.

All the sessions in one place!!!

Sourdough crumpets

Sourdough bread

Sourdough English Muffins

Sourdough rye bread

Vanilla butter cake with cookies & cream filling, vanilla buttercream, and covered in glitter fondant (vanilla fondant with glitter sugar pressed into the surface). All decor is dried fondant.

Best cooperative piece ever!! My partner in crime was my oldest granddaughter, and this was for her sister. I provided the sparkling cake and llama blank, and Abby decorated the llama,then made the cacti and ribbon roses. She even put all the decor onto the cake! Just goes to show how much she loves her sister ... #llamanodrama #llamacake #sparkleandshine #glittercake #kidscaketoo #cakesofinstagram #foodisart

How to tell your poopers are #lovednotspoiled : Spend 2 hours turning a litre of venison bone broth into X-Puppy Kibble Enhancement Gravy (rice flour, grated carrot and parsnip, a handful of peas and some butternut squash), followed by 3 minutes to empty their bowls. Then realize you havent fed yourself, so you go for the two minute smoothie. #xpuppylife #xpuppylove #xpuppymommylife #xpuppymommy

I would like to thank #AnneMcCaffrey for writing the #DragonRidersofPern novels, from where the basic inspiration of my piece came from. I would also like to thank #JodyGillies of #OdinsEyeTattooPortage, who gave me my beautiful bronze dragon tattoo to remind me of my journey, my struggles and successes, after leaving an abusive relationship, and to remind myself to always stay true to myself.

Heres something to do with the kiddos ....

This looks like it would be very relaxing once you get into the rhythm and flow

First collaboration I ever participated in ... now Im addicted

Many of you already know my sugar tools are put away for quarantine. But I have been keeping busy with these little 100% cotton beauties. I make them to order after you choose your fabric from my selections. The black masks are for Canadian military and RCMP members only, and I am providing 1 mask per member at no cost. Unfortunately I am not selling the black masks because of the limited availability of black cotton, and I will not charge these front line non-medical personn...el for something to wear in uniform. My regular masks are being sold for $5 each, or 4/$15. Childrens masks have ties, adult standard is elastic but you can choose ties instead. Matching elastic extenders are available for $1 each. I will also provide local professional health care providers with 2 free masks in fabrics of their choice. I am shipping (Canada/US) with S&H rates between $3 - $7 depending on weight and location. Message me for more information if you are interested. If you can donate black 100% cotton for hero masks, or even offer a really good discount, please let me know ... its getting really hard to find out here, and I am not profiting from what I am selling... its just cost recovery. #masksforheroes #masks4all #masksforall #fabrichoarder #fabricstash #sewingcommunity #tryingtodogood #militarywife #militaryfamily #supportrcmp #rcmpsupport #rcmpalberta #theotherfrontlineworkers @ Cold Lake, Alberta See more

If youre decorating cookies at home with your kiddos, its good to know you can bake a dozen cookies then freeze the rest of the dough for another day, AND freeze your decorating icing
