My Latest Endeavor...




As some of you know, I am currently going to cake decorating classes, and this class we are learning to make all sorts of different kinds of flowers...so Krista (my sister-in-law) told me about this site (etsy.com) where you can sell handmade crafts...so here goes nothing! I've decided to try and sell a few of these flowers online. They are made of icing that gets really hard--it's a lot like those sugar candy things you can buy in the store to put on cakes. Anyway, I am going to start by selling them 12 for $6.00, and see how that goes. They are pretty easy to make, and I spent the afternoon making daisies, apple blossoms, primroses, violets, chrysanthemums (I feel like Anne Shirley when I try and spell that...) and drop flowers. It was fun, but I'm pretty sick of icing right now.

If you would like some, I'd be happy to send them to you :) (family gets the 'just pay for shipping' discount :) ) I decided if these don't sell I'll just make some really cute cupcakes. The nice thing is, these last for a year if you keep them in a cool, dry place...so they shouldn't go bad.

Anyway...I putting a couple other pictures on, and then I really need to clean up the disaster I have in the kitchen before Edgar gets home!
