Have you ever spent a day or two knowing that you wanted something with a certain taste, but just couldn't find it? That's what I've been doing for two days -- I've been craving something with a lemony zing to it. I finally found that taste tonight. My hubby and I made lemon bars together. I wanted one so badly, I didn't wait for them to completely cool before cutting into the pan of gooey, lemony goodness. It hit the spot!

I am a newbie to cake decorating. I've always loved cooking/baking and have often said, "the more I have to feed, the happier I am." It's a southern thing. ;) I created my first "masterpiece" in May 2010 when my granddaughter brought me pictures of cakes she really liked and asked me to make one for her birthday.

Just finished my first belly cake for my daughters baby shower. It turned out really well. I used home made fondant for the first time.  I Don't think I will be buying fondant anymore. Just wish I could get orders from someone other than family.

I've made a Tiffany gift box and braclet out of sugarpaste but want to add the Tiffany logo to the top of the box.
