Sandra you are so right to put HIM first!  When we acknowledge God in all our ways and give Him all the glory, he blesses us beyond measure!  

Katy, thanks for getting that information. It will be helpful to all of us at some time in our careers of cake decorators.  I did try traveling with some fondant flowers a few years ago.  Just make sure they are well cushioned so they don't break.  Glad I made lots of extras.

Just had to confess! I did a bit more procrastinating and got sidetracked today with taking my father to a doctor appointment, getting a few decorating items I was running low on - I even went to the Goodwill store and found items I needed for making cake stands for an order for next week (I prefer to think of this as planning ahead and not procrastinating what I should have been doing today....;-) I am proud to announce that I got the 40 mini-double-scoop-ice-cream-cone-cake-pop-lookalikes done and it's not even midnight yet!!! Plus I made dinner, did some laundry and got through 7th grade homework with our daughter. Yay!!! Now if I can only get my behind in gear in the morning.......goodnight my cakey friends!!
