Lingerie in the Kitchen revisited!

I love, love, love these aprons! I cannot express how much I love these! This is a sexy apron! Lace, rhinestones, beaded jewels - it's enough to make a drag queen swoon!! As I said on my Etsy site, this is a "forget the dinner, go straight for dessert" kind of apron!

I really feel the pictures aren't even doing it justice, it's very difficult to photograph.

What girl doesn't love flip flops, especially when they sparkle!!

I mean, seriously, I love flip flops! I wear them whenever possible, I have major flip flop "tan" lines (I use quotations because saying I'm tan is really stretching it) on my feet. So, how do you improve on a good thing? Why you take the best flip flops in the world (Havaiana's, if you were confused) and make 'em sparkly!!!
















Ahhhh, I love my Bejeweler Pro! Have I mentioned it's pink?! Thanks Bling, Bling Fairy!

Weddings, I love weddings! Drinks all around!

I really do love weddings, like, love, love, love weddings! So, I was ecstatic when my friend, Andrea, asked if I would do her wedding cake. Heck, yes, I'll do your wedding cake!!! So, we sat down to plan it out, she had no clue what she wanted, but since she was having a very simple wedding, she wanted a very simple cake. In fact at first she was saying she would like just one small pretty cake for pictures and then sheet cakes for the guests. BORING! I told her I could just as easily do a tiered cake and she agreed, but she wanted either a square or rectangular cake. Perfect! I had square pans from doing the PacMan cake for my sister's 80s party/wedding (one day I'll try to remember to post that here) and they were the perfect size for how many guests were coming. We started looking through pictures on the internet to find ideas and she picked out something very simple. She did see a cake labelled as being made with marshmallow fondant, to which she exclaimed, "Gross!!!" I told her that it actually was very tasty. . .what I didn't tell her was that I was already planning on using MM fondant. One of the reasons she was having me do her wedding cake was to save money and MM fondant is about the cheapest you can get. I knew she wouldn't really be able to tell a difference between that or if I ordered Satin Ice (which, by the way, if you're going to buy fondant, don't buy Wilton, yuck!!! Buy Satin Ice, much tastier. . .and cheaper than Wilton!). So, her wedding day was today and the cake was a smashing success (speaking of smashing, no, the couple was very nice to each other and didn't smash cake in each other's mouths), I got compliments on it from the minute we showed up. Nick had to carry that thing, though. That motha' was HEAVY! Oh, and when the bride told me she liked the fondant, I finally told her it was marshmallow, she laughed. Anyway, enough talking, here's the pic:

Lingerie in the kitchen!

My poor son! The kid's mother needs to make some manly crafts. Seriously! I made some new hair bows to list on Etsy. Maybe one day I'll make a sale, but for now it's fun just to put them up there and then see how many people view them. I'm a simple girl, easy to please.


In addition to bows, I'm hoping to soon list something completely different! Something for the mamas, the wives, the homemakers, the cooks, the bakers. Aprons! Not just plain cotton aprons, fancy aprons. Think lace and pearls, think lingerie in the kitchen (if you wear lingerie covering everything from chest to mid-thigh, but you get the idea, right?). I can't take credit for this idea completely, it's stolen from my sister (the Bling Bling Fairy), but she stole the idea when she was in New Zealand.



I went to Joann's today and stocked up on some silky wares. Here's a sneak peek of the fabrics:


















And close-ups of the lace:

And, because I'm not a completely uncaring mother, some fabric to make him some jammies. Yay!!!

4th of July cake!

Ok, too tired to talk about it too much. . .but the MM fondant worked great! Can't wait to show off my cake tomorrow!!

Sweet, sweet goodness! AKA: Marshmallow Fondant - KitchenAid Style!

What's the point of Blogger saving my posts periodically for me, if when I accidentally hit "View Blog" and it takes me to my blog, even though I HIT "CANCEL" if it does not actually save it. Correction. It saved my title. What the hell?!

Well, I had a lot longer, more informative post. This is all you get now: I made marshmallow fondant in my KitchenAid. It's lemon flavored and delicious.

Oh. And a picture too. Look, fondant. It weighs 2 3/4 pounds. Oooooooooohhhh!
