Pirate Treasure Chest "Cake"

Another over-the-top edible creation was a huge success! This was the 11th cake I have made for my friend's daughter's birthday, and this year the theme was pirates but for tween girls, so my concept was "pirate bling" spilling out of an open treasure chest on a sandy beach, with as much completely edible as possible. I keep calling it a "cake" but the quotes are because there was no actual cake ...

fun with Grandma!

Grandma last saw my house in June 2006 , when nothing yet had been done except some minor repairs, some paint & some decorating. She's been seeing photos all spring of the kitchen remodel & other projects, so on her way to a wedding in Santa Rosa, she asked to come stay with me...hooray! This is the first time Grandma has visited me without other family around, so it was fun to have time to ...

fondly remembering this week last year...Alaska 2008!

My grandmother & I had a fantastic time on our cruise from Seattle to Alaska last year , but when I got home I walked in the door to my freshly-printed proof copy of Eerie Elegance , so I never got the chance to blog the trip...bad Britta! However I did work hard on this Shutterfly photobook for Grandma for Christmas, and she loves having it & showing it to people. I admit I also showed my copy...

Halloween season has begun!

Here we go! Halloween season has officially begun! Not only am I already deep in my own party planning, but Eerie Elegance book sales have gone from selling less than 10 books each month through June, to about 40 sold in July, and 85 in August...definitely ramping up! I did not allow myself any concrete Halloween planning until my kitchen remodel was absolutely finished, otherwise I was ...

garden updates

Here are the garden updates I promised! new flowerbeds along the Final Pathway When my dad & I dug the drainage channels from the downspouts away from the house back in February, it left an entire garbage can full of clay dirt that I intended eventually to use for flowerbed planting along the Final Pathway when it was done. It kept bugging me that the ugly can was in the way of my nice ...

Corset Cupcakes

My default TV channels when doing inside projects are DIY, HGTV and FoodTV, especially Ace of cakes plus all the cake challenges they have. One of the specials back in February had wedding dress-inspired cakes with one giant corset bodice cake, and I had a brainstorm...corset cupcakes! Take two cupcakes, frost them bases together for an hourglass shape, cover with marshmallow fondant, then have a...

Guitar Hero Cake

For a decade now I have made an elaborate birthday cake for my friend's daughter's birthday party the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The cake always must go with the party theme, which this year was Guitar Hero. Earlier this year, a fellow Halloween fan had emailed me the recipe for marshmallow fondant she had found & used to rave reviews for a wedding cake, so never having used any fondant ever ...
