Statistics or Madonna?

Just in case you were wondering - I do still knit and am working on some projects, but for now you get to just see some finished cakes/cupcakes.

So the photo I posted previously was of Madonna. Now here is the cake finished. Madonna is made out of rolled Fondant and painted food coloring. I had a picture/stencil that I was working from but I cut it out by hand. The hair is done with my pasta maker - very handy tool in deed. The high heels on the side are cut out with the awesomest cookie cutter from my mom.





Also I made cupcakes for Jason's statist
ics class and thought it would be fun to put some actual statistic symbols on top.Ok here is some works in progress. Jason's almost 4th pair of socks. I have to
finish the heel on the second sock but they are almost there.

The yarn on the right will be my very first lace project: The Shetland Triangle (raverly link). It is a Bamboo/Silk combo and it is so soft. The yarn is Ella Rae and it is 70 % Bamboo, 30 % Silk - and yes it is as yummy and delicious as it sounds.

Both look awesome! I'd do good to bake a box cake without burning the house down. lol

Very impressed baked goods and knitting! I haven't met an Ella Rae yarn yet I didn't like.

Dude, that cake totally rocks!!

I bought yarn a while ago to knit the shetland triangle but haven't gotten around to it yet :( Maybe yours will inspire me to get my butt in gear...
