 Here is USAPUPPY's (my oldest's) first fondant covered cake!!!!!! She made it for her brother's 11th birthday (note the "no. 11" in the top right hand corner of the cake). She loves watching Ace of Cakes and loves baking and decorating. She made mints with fondant for St. Patrick's Day, but this is the first time she has covered a cake with it. Since she is only 13, I am VERY proud of her. I think it was a pretty ambitious undertaking. (I have yet to work with fondant myself!) She hopes to have a career as a pastry chef someday. Or maybe a Nutritionist. Or an interior decorator. Who knows!? She is only 13! Hope you all enjoyed seeing her cake! Go Pack! :) |

My daughter made her first bread- all by herself!!! Here is a picture of one of the three loaves she made today. I think it is amazing! I only started making bread myself a few years ago, and here she is just a young thing and making bread from scratch by herself! (Can you tell I'm proud!?) And all this baking occured while I was out of town at a dentist appointment. So she didn't have me watching over her shoulder making sure everything was done right! She just followed the recipe and made beautiful bread! So I just had to share! Way to go, USAPUPPY! You make me proud everyday! For those interested, USAPUPPY used the recipe for overnight bread from the Hillbilly Housewife found here: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/familybread.htm The recipe is located at the top of the page. Scroll down the page to adapt the recipe for the low-yeast, overnight method. I've had excellent results with whole wheat and other hearty grains rising this way. Also, this method is great for beginners, in my experience. So try it and see what you think! i hope you and your family enjoy this bread as much as we do! |
