This week was kind of hectic but I managed to make a cake for my friend's niece who is turning one. My friend said the theme was Minnie Mouse and they had the plates,cups,etc. in all Minnie Mouse design. I found an image of the plate and was able to make an edible image of it on a frosting sheet with my edible ink printer. (Yes,,this printer is a p.i.t.a. as it clogs frequently if you don't use it all the time) Surprisingly, the printer worked for the two images I needed and then clogged up afterwards so I lucked out. I put the image on the buttercream cake and decorated around it with some fondant stripes. I also added some fondant ribbon roses in the corners. I will post an awesome marshmallow fondant recipe that is really easy to make and use. It is also considerably cheaper than buying commercial fondant.

Diet Failure
Okay, I must share my diet failure this week. I blame it on these delicious chocolate candies. (yeah, I know its about my choices,,blah,blah,blah) I was doing just fine until my 12 year talked me into buying these chocolate covered blueberries and pomegranates at Sam's club. I could not stop eating these and psychologically I was okay with this because I told myself they contained fruit and dark chocolate is a good source of antioxidants, right? I must say I probably will never buy these again only because I cannot stop at 10 pieces nor 20 or 30. I must keep going until the entire bag is gone. I will post a picture of these yummy creations and perhaps you will have more self control then I do.

I can't really call yours a diet failure; perhaps just a moment of succumbing to temptations? I absolutely had worst during my self-attempt to diet! It definitely did not work when it's just me; I need a diet trainer or coach to constantly nag me about what to eat and not, and also to force me into exercise to burn my fats away. >.<
