Action Shots and Eats - Interested?

It has been awhile since my last post and although I have no new knitting to show I do have a Shetalnd triangle action shot as well as some tasty treats.


At my old job I used to make Souffles every night for the restaurant, but now it is only on special occasions. Here are my Chocolate Lovelies...





And lastly I was asked by my chef to recreate the new Dine Originals Logo on a cake for the employee appreciation party. I am really pleased with how it turned out - although of course there are things I would have liked to perfect if I had had more time. It takes a steady hand that is for sure. ;-D The original logo is shown above the cake - pretty close right?

Hope everyone is well and that Spring is beginning wherever you are.....

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 statistics 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.

Can anyone guess who this is??

O-H-I-O

It will be a month soon since we left Boston and what a month it has been. It has been crazy busy around here and I am now just settling back down. I do hope everyone has been well although I know like Chan who recently lost her beloved pup that life certainly has its ups and downs.

I am certainly enjoying Columbus thus far and trying to get into the swing of things. Most recently I have been doing lots of cleaning and organizing, but thankfully knitting and crafting shall commence soon.

But a bit of a rockin photo to share in the mean time... I made this cake for a local Jazz musician here in Columbus.Here are the photos of our empty apartment...

The bedroom is through that open door way to the left. Other then that it is just one big open room.
