I got a phone call this morning, asking for a cake.  Not just any cake, a character cake.  And not just any character either! This one, in particular...

I'm doing a frozen buttercream transfer of her face for a friend on chocolate cake.  I'll post a photo when it's done....

Come back tomorrow and see how she turned out!

I've had a request! I can hardly believe it! You don't know how big I was grinning when I read the request to post my bread recipe on my blog!  That, my friends, means you've been reading....and THAT, my friends, is a good thing :)  Thank you! :D It's the little things that make me happy ;)

And emoticons.  I do that.  Too much.  If it offends your eyeballs, my apologies.  If you know some good ones, let me in on that!

Anyway...Bread.

It goes like this...

So here we are on a rainy Tuesday.  Another day off to work early, to head to the dentist and then my boy has his Cub meeting. Tuesdays are always a busy day at my house.  Up early, to bed late.  Makes for a long one, that's for sure. Tomorrow will make up for that as it's my day off.  Except for housework and grocery shopping (and a trip to Costco to return clothing-remind me to not do that again), it'll be a knitting kind of day.  Rainy and knitting.  Hey! Maybe it'll rain too much, and I'll have to stay home and knit all day! Wouldn't that be a thrill?!?!? For me it would :)

So, it's early.  One of my start early work days.  Yes, I begin at 6:45 am.  So, this will be short and sweet.  I hope y'all have a great day! Enjoy your coffee, and please drive safely! It's slippery and slushy out there in our Great Canadian Winter.  Have a great one!

And we're off.  I've been asked recently if I have a website where I showcase my knitted goods and baked things, and, well, I don't.  So I asked Google how to set that up.  I've been stumbling around, and came up with this.  It's a work in progress, so please, bear with me.  I don't know how many will read, if any...or even if this is worth the time, but again, we'll see!

If you want to know about me, there are few questions I won't answer, so feel free to put it out there. I can tell you I have a daughter, 17, a son, 8 and a step-son, 24.  I won't be posting pictures of children, or even really mention their names, so don't ask me to. That's creepy to me.  I live with a guy I call my husband though we're not legally married.  We are in our hearts. So there.

Today..Oh today.  We've got roast beef and veggies in the slow cooker, and a double layer chocolate cake waiting for chocolate buttercream icing. 

My son asked me for one yesterday while perusing the cookware section of Canadian Tire.  Then, I found this:

This cake isn't from that recipe, though that was my goal.  I hadn't thawed the butter in time.  Perhaps another day.

Later, it's knitting, knitting, knitting...provided I don't fall asleep...
