Vintage Easter Basket

It was wonderful having Sydney baking and decorating with me this past week, however I admit saying goodbye has become harder as she visits more often. I began realizing our relationship will be a series of visits and goodbyes. She loves living in D.C. and will probably go to graduate school at George Washington University. I am happy to see her become a…

Sugar Shaper

Does anyone have one of these? I saw it in a cake book and can't seem to find one. It would make fondant so much easier to string and hair looks awesome with it. If anyone has one where did you get it? Thanks Mel

So, the question is how much is needed? Think about…
