Not quite WOYWW!


Having been away for a long weekend in Birmingham, shopping, shopping, shopping and shopping, I have nothing to show for WOYWW, so as I promised to show OCD Dolly the cake I made for GrandDaughter's birthday, I thought today would be as good a day as any :)
It was made by me, and most of the decoration was done by me (with a little help from Tray Bake Dolly) OK, so it was not technically on my work desk as it actually took over the whole of the kitchen, but I am still proud of it :) Pink and glittery though it is!
There was a phone call a couple of weeks before her Birthday and I was asked, in a way that only little girls can do when they would like something, to make her cake, so not being either a baker or cake maker, I hedged and asked what she wanted. Tangled came the reply, tangled? Does not compute, seems it is Rapunzel. Ok thinks I, round cakes piled on top of each other and a small figure looking out of a window, easy (ish), so I agree to make it. THEN I discover that what is really wanted is the FIGURE of Rapunzel! EEEEEEEK!!!!! Several heart attacks later I calm down enough to ring Tray Bake Dolly to find out how on earth I am going to get myself out of this pickle, once again she saved my bacon and GrandDaughter thinks that Nan is marvelous :)

Well maintained garages not only protect their other major investment, their cars, but also improve the resale value of their homes. A house needs to have at least a two-car garage, but in certain areas of the US, three-car garages have started to become standard.

This is a good way for your coffee to become spoiled easily. Every time you thaw out coffee, it will have some moisture in it. Refreezing it constantly will kill the quality. Use small storage bags to freeze it in batches.

On the off chance that your home office has enough room, make a bit of it as a different sitting region with a sofa or parlor seat.
