Demo: Making a wedding cake at home
Posted 01 June 2005 - 03:28 PM
That is the picture of the picture of her cake. It is a Martha Stewart cake.
I was asked how long it took me to make her flowers. I said, "Two days and twenty-five years." (The 25 years of course in reference to the daughter herself :) I made about 900 small, medium and large sized hydrangea blossoms. I think I have the picture posting thing figured out. I hope these photos are the right size.
My one regret and we'll get that out of the way first is that I did not get to place all the flowers on the cake myself--I had cake angels helping me and very thankfully so because I was running out of time--but the placement wasn't exactly as I wanted it but all in all it was a huge success and it all worked out great. sniff
I had a variety of cutters to choose from, the plunger kind, but mine were too small, the kind with the cute little handles, but there's not enough room to pop out the flowers quickly or efficiently, the green plastic Wilton ones were the most user friendly because they have smooth more cushiony tops where you don't slice your fingers off when you press down about 900 times. But I did use one metal one, since I made three different sizes but I put bandaids on my thumbs to protect them from the sharp edges. The green cutter with the white stick is just a Wilton cutter and a sucker stick.
I hot glued marshmallows onto an oven liner pan for two reasons. One is so I could have an easy count of all my flowers and the other is so that I had a nice upside down resting place for my blossoms to dry out. I was using raspberry flavored fondant with tylose to help it dry nice. Another added feature --no extra charge--of the hot glued marshmallow pan is that hot glue makes great long strings that mimic hairs all over everything--as if I didn't have enough to worry about
This handy dandy roller outer board made life much easier--I had the same correct depth fondant with just a couple rolls of the pin--every time--made things go much smoother and cleaner and easier.
When the cutter got too small for me to push out the flower with my fingertip, I used a sucker stick to push it out. I just cut out beaucoups of flowers and piled them all in plastic containers until I could get to the next steps.
This shot and the next show where I made my operation mobile to a certain extent so I could cut out beaucoups and stuck them in plastic containers until I could get to the next steps whether I was at the table on the phone or watching tv.
I used three different methods. For the small ones I just used a ball tool and after sprinkling with cornstarch, I just pushed the ball tool into each petal so they cupped up around it.
Medium sized ones, I textured the petal close to the center of the flower. Then thinned the outside of the petals by running the ball tool over the edges of the petals--you could use a marble for the same effect.
The large ones I rolled out twice as thick as the others so I could get the greater size--small and medium I rolled out 1/8" thick--larges I rolled out 1/4 inch thick--
then I just ran a fabric texturing little baby rolling pin over the entire petal--but ran it over the petal like the spoke of a wheel--not just across the edge--from the center--maybe two rolls-you can kind of tell in the picture
See how fat the fondant is too??? Real thick so I can get a greater size out of it when I roll it.
However my dilema was that I needed 4-petal blossoms and I only had a 5-petal cutter. So here's the five petal one...
Then I turned it over, pinched off one petal and
Wa a a la there you have it times 900 . But each one had to be turned over, pinch off a petal & away you go.
See the textured little baby rolling pin in the shot there in the top left corner of the picture??? Rather clear acrylic looking pencil shaped roller with little grooves in it. Ordinarily you would use a flower veiner for this--but this worked better for my purposes. A flower veiner is just a plastic mat with the texture imprinted on it and you press the flower dough into it to imprint the texture into the dough.
This next is a shot of how much super pearl dust I used per air brush bowlful--it was real gas to just blow the stuff on my zillions of blossoms--I used everclear and mixed each batch as I sprayed it on. Made each bloom come alive.
To be continued...

Let me rewind a bit, I found a coupla pictures I was looking for.
That's where I just tossed my cut flowers into plastic tubs so they would not dry out until I could thin the petals out. But I mean I had to use then within a few hours--would run the risk of them becoming one giant mass if I let them sit too long.
That's a shot of some flower and leaf veiners, see by the scissors, the white & blue blobs?? Flower & leaf veiners, just blobs of textred plastic. Old timey plastic flowers from the 50's & 60's work great as flower formers & veiners if you can find 'em.
So we got the flowers done. Now it's time to make the stand and think about construction.
Right out of the box I made the bottom board too big, drat that anyway. I got distracted looking for my trusty yardstick--which I never found till the next day--so I just plunged into making it with an 8 inch ruler and a dressmakers tape--jeez loueez. So not quite concentrating as I should have been.
I usually always make my stands 8 inches bigger than the bottom cake--so when I center the cake on the board there's a 4 inch lip on either side of the cake. If you look at the original picture, the stand is 2 inches bigger on either side--so I 'bordered' the stand--you'll see in a minute what I mean.
I doubled half-inch thick foam board for the top of the stand.
To cut it, I just find a preferably serrated knife, steak knife whatever and hang it over the table-top and cut. This seemingly boring point is actually essential when you are trying to replicate a cake, or make a certain size cake. You don't have to use already cut materials--most times they won't accommodate your design anyway. Symmetry is everything.
That's a shot of piecing the boards together to make the right size stand--there's another layer of solid foam board under those taped together pieces so it is very stable. But each cake will be on it's own secure board anyways--and just resting on this stand.
I dotted drops of hot glue onto the top edge one of the boards (that did not take kindly to being photographed) & let the drops set up. So I could bevel the edge there by attaching a piece of balsa wood so it would rest against the drops and bevel the edge.
See the pretty bevel after it's wrapped up??? I used wrapping paper and real lace to cover the boards. *The cake did not come in contact with the wrapping paper--wrapping paper could contain things harmful to eat. I would not recommend using it in a cake for sale but this was a family cake so you don't mind poisoning people as much ???
So I purchased wooden trim pieces, fleur de lis, from the craft store to use as 'a border' for my stand because I cut it too big. Half of the time, cake deco is figuring out how to undo or cover up boo-boo's and often times the result is even better than before. So I 'painted' them with food coloring and dusted them with non-toxic flower dusts. I glued them on the board and later you will see them better.
You can kind of see the wooden fleur de lis in this shot. This is the full stand before the lights. Kind of pagoda looking.
I found cool battery operated lights that I installed before covering my separations. I used 3/8 inch foam board and a piece of styrofoam in each separation. They are set up so that you can get to the on/off switch but still cover up the box--most of the battery boxes were white but a couple were black. Then I taped the lights to the bottom of the board above it. They all worked--it was my first time using these lights and I was really pleased with the effect.
Before the cake board was added & it is also upside down so you can see the lights.
So that's with the cake board added--now right side up--see the one little light there between my fingers kind of. Each one had ten lights--lots of fun these lights.
So we got flowers, we got a stand, we got lights, camera...how about some cake action??!!
Right after lunch...brb...

"Wow--this is a fancy restaurant! They keep bringing us more water and we didn't even ask for it!" --My 5.75 year-old niece, about Bread Bar
"He's jumped the flounder, as you might say."

I made two half sheet pans full of the goo to make what I have always called French buttercream--it's a paste made with flour, sugar & milk, cooled completely then butter is added. It tastes like ice cream and is great on cakes but I only wound up using it to dam the cakes. (more on that later)
The following is a shot of me not only waiting patiently but planning ahead of time for my butter to come to room temperature.
That's like a dozen fat bald lemons for PH's lemon cream--I bought an extra food processor just for this step. Man this part smells soooo good--lean closer you can smell it...
Lemon cream all done--like two gallons of it.
I mix the lemon cream with berry filling.
Like three gallons of berry filling--ok ok so I have a little leftover--but you never freaking want to run out y'know--more is better--too much is our friend. This is my recipe for this berry filling.
Raspberry filling from K8
I made one by putting a 10 oz bag of thawing frozen raspberries (from the grocery store freezer section) or use fresh into a heavy sauce pan with a peeled diced granny smith apple and one third cup of sugar and a squirt of lemon juice and brought to boil stirring often while cooking gently for about 15-20 mins.
Then in a little cup mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water, then pour into bubbling fruit stuff stirring constantly for another two minutes.
Cool, puree in food processor and then strain out the seeds. Add almond extract if you want. Be sure to securely seal the edges of the filling with buttercream.
You can actually use any combination of berries.
This is not difficult and the fresh bursting taste is well worth the little bit extra effort. Enough for a quarter sheet. Yum Yum
Sorry this next is sideways--the rotate thing is not responding--but...
It's a lot easier to make cooked icings if you stand on a step of some kind--cooked icings that have to be constantly stirred. I mean I'm not short, I'm 5'8" but by the time I have my mixer bowl on top of a pot to make a double boiler--I'm up in the stratosphere to hoist up my elbow & stir for 5 or 10 minutes. And never let the term 'double boiler' scare you--stick a pot on a pot. If you don't have a thermometer to check the temp, just feel it and if the sugar is no longer grainy then it's ready. This is my set up for swiss meringue buttercream.
Then apparently, 18 eggs whites won't all whip up in a 5 or 6 quart KA hahahayeahnotfunny--so I had to do all kinds of juggling of mixers & bowls--I have three bowls and two mixers--a shot of mixer central--
Not counting my 20 quart that needs a weird plug that hasn't been hooked up yet--it is a perfect match with my really cool oven that likewise is not hooked up yet--hmmm, two years & counting--all I need is a little bit of commercially zoned property & I'd be all set.
No, really isn't this the coolest oven??? See the relief on the door??? Way cool.
So another really huge area to consider is refrigerator space. I have two regular home friges. If we had done the catering too, we would have purchased another frige--a really big one. I had seven tiers of cake crammed into the two freezers--didn't get a shot of that--but it was pretty cool really--Seven tiers, a 16x14x12x10x8 and a half sheet, quarter sheet groom's cake well plus the anniversary cake--I always deliver a little anniversary cake boxed & decorated to match so I don't have to go insane trying to figure out servings minus the top tier y'know?? Brides always like to hear that they can serve the whole cake and still have their anniversary cake too. I mean this top tier was an 8 inch--that's a lot of servings.
So here's a picture of the one frige with just the fillings & less than half the frosting. And there's the half & quarter groom's cakes too--not the brownie cheesecake part--the cake part before I stacked 'em up.
I cannot tell you how many midnights & 2 AM's, 4 AM's I've been up cleaning out my frige so I can house some other huge mass of sugar and flour I've created. It's a constant rearranging of everything in there--don't be afraid to toss out the less essential stuff and even essentials to make room--and for heaven's sake don't go buy a bunch of groceries when you're doing a cake from home. Eat out!!
Which brings me to the next dilema of a home baker--the family needs lunch dinner and breakfast--gotta stop for that too. No fun at all.
Plus stuff everywhere...suffice it to say you have to work real hard at all the juggling of food stuffs and boxes and boards and all the while feed the family and keep your cool--answer the phone--field interuptions--hang onto some kind of organization and sanity or you're doomed. Now how many eggs was that I just put in there?? How many cups of flour lessee....
Anyways--labor of love huh??!!! This time yes sure--usually it's SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!
Even though the pans won't fit in the sink...
I do have a great dish dryer
Y'all gotta be tired 'cause I'm tired--let's bake cake later

can i just say that i would never-ever-never bake a wedding cake, not ever, but i am finding this riveting. the drama. the anticipation. such fun! thanks.
Amen! I can't say that I'd given it much serious thought before, but now I can say that this is definitely a job best left to the professionals.
Amazing job, I can't believe your family expected you to cook them meals at the same time - I would have probably just snarled and tossed a take-out menu at them
Posted 02 June 2005 - 03:30 PM
But actually, my whole point thus far is, baking and engineering the cake while very important, is not more important than what I've already covered. I mean excluding the flowers though. But if you can get a nice stand, buy it even, and house and maintain your ingredients in the different stages of your progess, where you have bare naked cake to protect from the elements--the elements of the refrigerator & freezer too--I mean keep the baking soda fresh in there.
I mean some people think if you freeze a cake you're the baker from the lowest part of hell--likewise with box mixes, 'pre-measured ingredients'. When in reality--if you serve a brand new baked cake as a wedding cake--it is very likely going to serve poorly, crumble & all. In my humble opinion cake needs to mature to serve well. There are so many factors to doing a cake--a cake that slices and serves well is the point. Besides looking beautiful, tasting heavenly and not collapsing, it's gotta cut supremely well--that's why it was created.
Umm, all that to say if you have a pretty stand you're halfway there. Stack doughnuts on it & it'll look pretty.
Btw--I wrap my cakes in two layers of plastic wrap then slide them into baking bags to protect them from the elements. If the bag is not big enough I slice them apart and tape them together to make it big enough to cover. Baking bags like you might cook a turkey or roast in.
So this is a great formula that is very common in cake circles--yes it does involve 'pre-measured' ingredients. You make yours any way you want. This makes a great wedding cake that will serve and stack great. One box Duncan Hines cake mix, one cup self-rising flour, one cup super-fine sugar, teaspoon vanilla extract, teaspoon of almond extract, cup of sour cream, three egg whites, one egg, a little salt, one and a third cups of water and two tablespoons of oil. (Recipe is complete and has been edited 6/8/05)
So hers was a white sour cream cake splashed with grand marnier, the berry lemon cream fill in the top & bottom tort and whipped cream with fresh strawberries in the center tort and then swiss meringue buttercream iced.
The groom's cake was a fat brownie bottom cheescake with a melted ice cream chocolate cake layer on top, all within each tier, all covered & filled with rich freakin' chocolate icing that I ate for breakfast two days in a row--Southbeach diet be damned!!! Then topped with tuxedo strawberies, choco strawberries and chocolate curls. Hmmm, can't find pictures of the groom's stand.
I used over 10 dozen eggs, 20 ounces of vanilla, over 30 pounds of superfine sugar, pounds of chocolate, 6 pounds of cream cheese, 6 pounds of sour cream, oodles of boxes and boards and foam and hot glue and yards of lace, I lost track of the butta, but it was a lot a whole lot 15 pounds or so maybe. I used all my amaretto because I was out of freaking almond extract and I was NOT going to the store one more dang time. It baked out I guess, it wasn't particularly almondy--it was fine--just fine!!
Umm, see my cake pans of 25 years of cakin' at that time had to be replaced due to a house fire, but my mental file still held them as on hand. When it came time to bake her cake I realized I had only replaced my square set with like some idiotic 15x12x9x6 s-h-i-t--hahahahayeahrealnotfunny--so all the while I'm trying to figure in my head, well I can bake a full sheet and cut out the 14 inch square and I'll have an 8 inch left or some lunacy--all this mind-numbing cake surgery going on in my feeble brain--wait wait--remember how thrown off I was just by not being able to find my friggin' yardstick bwoooahahahaha...
So all that to say I dashed out on baking day and bought a set of even numbered pans... whew and whew again...
I was asked how much I would charge for these cakes somewhere over three thousand.
We got a little baking and some filling to do before Crunch Time...

So once again here we demonstrate my advance planning and patience in allowing my eggs to gently come to room temperature--but but but it's only hot tap water and I use the eggs immediately--
Why oh why use a scraper when the beater is exactly the right size & shape to scrape down the bowl
I grease and use waxed paper or parchment.
And umm, I use a piece of folded aluminum foil with a tear there on the one end & the little legs bent in opposite directions so it will stand up--I put one or more in my cakes instead of baking cores and rose nails--so the bigger cakes can bake off better--They remove easy peasy--just slide a knife down each side and wiggle it out--the knife unfolds the little feet & it just slides right out.
I use the wet toweling around my pans--it makes the cakes bake more level and I have less waste--they are secured with t-pins. If you use this or the magic strips that are sold for this purpose, hot water soaks them more thoroughly.
So we're torting.
Yeah great, we cut the cake in half now what. I like my one sided cookie sheets to lift my torted cakes--you can use cake cardboards too--if your cake is cold or frozen or if you're real good you can just lift it off. You replace the cakes the same way--be confident, be bold, line it up carefully, be quick & pull the cookie sheet out & the push the cake off at the same time. Wa la.
Here is the icing dam I mentioned earlier and the filling--the berry lemon cream.
Oh wait wait I forgot something...
The grand marnier splash--it's simple syrup and grand marnier squirted on first--then the fillings.
When I do the strawberry & whipped cream, I kind of sandwich the strawberries in the whipped cream because I don't want the cake soaked with the berries. Then another layer of the cake and the lemon berry filling and then cake.
And how do you get that icing smooth??? Build it up much higher than you want it and scrape your way down to the smooth even cake resting just beneath the surface--I use a dough scraper.
Dowel, ugh I hate cutting dowel, but I promise these plastic ones are the bomb--just stick it in & press it down --then mark it and twist it up & out--clean it off and hacksaw it off--or use a steak knife or use a pair of never been used on hedges hedge shears. I no longer use wooden dowel due to the musty taste than can be imparted to the cake immediately surrounding the dowel.
Now these look even but put them to the test as follows.
Slide them back and forth with a straight edge to be sure they are the same length.
When you put in your dowel, put them under the weight of the cake you will place there--like if you were balancing that cake on your fingertips--kind of place your dowel there--not on the far outside perimeter of the cake--put two circles of dowel if necessary--put enough dowel to hold the weight--nobody was ever sorry they used to much dowel.
And they have gotten very creative with dowel—I do use drinking straws sometimes—but I will often reinforce them with bamboo skewers too. So much easier to deal with than wooden dowel. Also there are stress free stainless steel set ups that cost so much it would stress me to use them but some people swear by them. And another kind they have now is a nice white dowel with a screw in the top that you can dial up or down to match the height you need—very nice—I found some in the drawer and used them in the groom's cake—I loved not cutting freaking dowel!!!
And remember, my stand will hold my cake up--it's built out of half inch thick foam core board. I have to be sure my dowel will keep it from caving in--but I didn't want too much additional height so I just slid bamboo skewers into the boards directly under my cakes so that they would not crack as I lifted them in place--these are the cardboards they rested on while they were in the freezer. Not the best picture –hey I'm not Patrick!! But you get what I mean.
And this was sheer genius I didn't want to tax the servers too much by them having to cut the groom's cake with the brownie bottom--it's brownie, cheesecake baked on top of that then icing then cake in each of the two tiers. You know how tricky cutting brownie can be. So-o, I scored it-hehehehe--except then I squished it all back together so I could ice it & all--you know what happens to brownie when you squish it all back together??? It all goes all back together--hahahayeahnotfunny--so technically I would have had enough time to put on more of the flowers if I hadn't been doing stupid stuff like this
So well here we go. We baked, we filled, we froze, we iced, we are in serious crunch time--now we gotta make some boxes so no birds christen all this hard work and the Memphis sun doesn't melt anything on the way. And if we have to slam on the brakes, and if there's an earthquake, well you get the picture.
So you can tape any size boxes, like you can tape two sheet cake boxes together flat if you need that much room--we are disregarding the pre-folded creases imprinted on the cardboard and ignoring the flaps and folds. Remember you will want this to be able to be taller than the cake so you can cover with plastic--you can always get moving boxes too, but for my purposes with this cake that was not practical--for a stacked cake it would be.
Set your cake in the middle and mark around it. Then score it with scissors or a knife. Make the creases along the scoring.
Make the 4 cuts on the short side of each of the new creases --cut just up to the markings you made. This enables you to fold the pieces up & around the shorter sides--tape everything in place---so you can now cover the top with plastic wrap and your cake will be as secure as possible. I also drop a frozen freezer pack into a plastic bag with a folded paper towel to absorb any moisture and wire it into the corner of the box or set it under the cake--makes me so much happier when delivering.
This is the real reason I was making boxes at the last possible minute and didn't have them ready in advance. (that's a spidery defect in the flooring just outside the box there--not dirt!! :) You also want to be sure your car seat is level--fold a towel or blanket to make it so. In vans & wagons many people use that puffy nubbly shelf liner so that the cakes do not slide.
Alrighty--next stop the wedding cake!!!!

Here's a piece for you!
Posted 04 June 2005 - 05:35 AM
I've never made my own cake stand for a wedding cake............but you've got me thinking about it. Did you use any center support for your cake stand?
For people who think about making their own wedding cake can you figure out how many hours this took you to make? So others will have a realistic idea.
On the day before the wedding and on the wedding day, how much time did you spend working on the cake?
Posted 04 June 2005 - 10:43 AM
How long did it take??? Whoa—a long dang time—seriously when I said it took 2 days and 25 years to make the flowers, it really did. Every ounce of everything I ever knew and everything I ever forgot is in those cakes—30 plus years. The day before & day of I worked from sea till shining sea.
>>>>Here follows is too much information!!! But anyways…
I planned early on to do as much of the advance stuff as possible. I budgeted a day for the cake stands & separations because I was creating as I went along too. There was no set of instructions to follow kind of thing. I really did not know what kind of groom's cake stand I was gonna come up with either—just made it up. Now if I did the same thing again I could do it much faster.
I budgeted a day for the two gallons of Pierre Herme Lemon Cream and 3 gallons of berry filling and the eight gallons of French buttercream.
It took a full day to bake everything & fill & store the cakes. Full as in from 12-14 hours--due to the home oven only being so big-and the run to the cake store for pans at the last minute. That's two layers of 16x14x12x10x8 plus the half and quarter sheet brownie/cheesecake combo each took two bakings because the brownie baked first, then I poured the cheesecake on top of the brownie & baked it all again. Then I baked the melted ice cream cakes separate. And don't forget the anniversary cake. Now I sure coulda been more diligent but when you are not on the clock, you don't have the same mentality. I allowed the day for it and I had all my fillings & icings ready so I could make the most of my freezer space. I mean figure just washing the 14 pans I used took more than a little while in that little bitty sink.
However, a strange phenomenon sets in for doing cakes at home. I have spent beaucoups of overnighters pondering this and many other mysteries of the universe I'll save for another thread. But when you are in a shop, you have a boss, even if it is just your schedule, you get a paycheck hopefully, you are on the clock—you are in the left side of your brain. You have responsibilities you must fulfill, you can organize, you are together. When you create, you are in the right side of your brain where time and language do not exist. Therefore, you get in that ethereal arena where there are no clouds, no clocks, and you hover between the living and the dead in creative nirvana, a sugarcoated never-never land of sparkling wonder and awe. Then much much later when you come to your senses, you know you're not hovering anymore you are officially dead because it is freaking five o'clock and you gotta deliver thirty minutes ago. WHOAUGH!!!! But just remember to peak out & check the clock—even set the clock if necessary to alarm every 15 or 30 minutes—trust me on this one. J
It takes days to plan & shop for everything and get it home. I shopped at six different stores several times each, the cake store, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Costco and umm the grocery store as well as Wallyworld (Walmart). I allowed a day for that.
The brownie cheesecake deal was a first for me—I read up & made it up as I went along not even knowing for sure if it would work—so I had enough time budgeted to come up with something easier & fool proof if it bombed—but it worked so that was cool. I was worried that the brownie would be too dry with the double baking but it was fine.
Then I switched gears and headed back to Costco for more eggs and enough butter to feel comfortable so I could do Swiss meringue buttercream instead of continuing with the French buttercream. And dang I got a great spot at the check out but forgot the sugar—had to go back & wait forever in the real long checkout line. Made the chocolate icing too—Hershey's, recipe on the can, heavy on the cocoa—Thee ToTaL bomb—no really—company ate it on spoons afterwards--with the leftover I was gonna pipe chocolate roses & rosebuds to set up & dry so people could pop them in their mouths—yeah that didn't happen. J
See she, the bride, my kid, tried to assign me something to do on the day of the wedding—hahahahahahayeahrealwaynotfunny. I explained to her that on a sunny day with a tail wind delivering a wedding cake is a nerve-wracking high stress event, which she knew anyway—then with me being the mother-of-the-bride on top of everything—yeah no freaking way could I be responsible for any other teensy thing. She is way together and this happened weeks before crunch time—so all I had to do was run interference on whatever happened that day. My brother came in that day & he stayed with us—he tried to talk to me but gave up—I was in hyper-focus and he was scared of me hahahahaha.
Now on a side note, over dinner at Outback after a recent cake delivery, my husband said carefully," You are a real nice person except when you are doing a cake, you are mean." I was quiet for a minute and said calmly, "Are you bleeding anywhere, do you have chunks of bald spots where hair has been ripped out of your head, do you currently have any untreated broken bones??? If you can answer no to two out of three of those questions, then you are a indeed lucky man." Bwwoooahahahahahaha.
Ok –I could have had the chocolate curls done ahead of time—yeah I really should have had them done ahead of time. But you gotta do the strawberries at the last possible minute…so why melt the chocolate until you need it—so if I had done the curls in advance that could have bought me few more minutes on the day of too. But back to the bride—she did expect me to come down day before & be there to engineer the decorating of the tables. I really needed that time but shoot, this is my one chance to be mother of the bride. So I go do that—she had oodles of help I only needed to be there a few minutes. But it did break my rthym. Then we had the rehearsal & dinner—legendary pizza to die for—remember I've been on Southbeach since January.
So day of, I'm up & running at 5:30 and I worked in hyper focus until we left to deliver at like around FIVE OCLOCK THE WEDDING WAS SIX THIRTY OH MY GAWD. CRUNCH TIME IS FAST BECOMING CRASH AND BURN TIME. Because I had to get dressed before we left too. The venue is seven miles from the house—that was totally on purpose.
But because of storage issues, hey you can't leave whipped cream filled cake and cheesecake sitting out overnight y'know. I had to ice last minute because I didn't want my icing to catch all manner of refrigerator smell—ain't no way to fit all those boxed cakes in the friges—even unboxed they wouldn't all fit. Besides, Thursday the father–of-the-bride aka bar-b-q-boy is smoking not one but two Boston butts—hahahhaha who doesn't love a nice slice of white Grand Marnier strawberry bar-b-q smoked flavor cake---but hey we also got tons of out of town guests too—the bar-b-q came in handy on Sunday. No no no the venue was supposed to have their frige cleaned out & open for me—so I could deliver early—hahahahayeahthatdidn'thappen –but I knew not to count on it either.
Oh yeah, I had previously run out of yellow wrapping paper and had to go to the store before the rehearsal dinner and get it—so I was crazy nuts but that's when I got the bright idea to go ahead and use the lights all over everywhere and took a bunch of time designing and wrapping the separations. I mean it's not because I asked my husband to get the batteries the week before and I only got them the night before…hmmm...not like I couldn't go get batteries myself…(hysterical laughter ensues…)
But no problem icing last minute because hey no piping –a big fat juicy border on the groom's cake took all of two minutes—just because I had to make & reload the bags a couple times.
Oh my soul, my blood pressure is pounding just thinking about all this—ha!!! Whooo hoooo. RadEmCowboy!!!!!
So where was I, umm, no eye liner-later—oh yeah, my husband was great—he knows how to go fire up the air conditioners in the cars and put a blanket in the back seat of my car to level it so the cakes ride level—he's got a wagon thank God--I had the chocolate curls & strawberries packed into a newspaper covered half sheet box with a frozen freezer pack inside so I don't have chocolate puddles when I get there.
So I'm slapping boxes together left & right—being sure to get the cakes in faster than the cat can crawl inside—he loves boxes.
So (takes big deep breath) we all survived—the bride was the requisite radiant—she really was--the wedding was a beautiful celebration, the cake was awesome, it didn't fall over—it didn't taste like bar-b-q—my husband has all his hair, well most of it—I didn't bite off my fingernails mostly because there was no time to do so. J I'll leave out the part where he checks his suit the day before & we notice the moth holes hahahahahyeahnotfunnyonceagain. lol
So people who fire up their ovens the day before a wedding are so way totally screwed. I didn't get my eye-liner on, I didn't get the coffee cakes baked for the fruit baskets for the hotel rooms of the out of towners, but then again I didn't get the fruit baskets delivered to the hotel rooms of out of towners either so they never noticed the absence of coffee cake -lol.
So how long did it take??? Way too long but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way—it was a thrill and a joy and now a treasured memory--but again I had thirty years to try to figure it all out.
Shoot, now I wanna go make some more of that chocolate icing…grab a spoon…

Oh yeah, don't forget two tablespoons of oil in that cake formula like I did writing it down.
This has been so fascinating! On the cake formula, just mix everything together? Do the egg whites get beaten and then folded in or just added like all other ingredients?
Posted 05 June 2005 - 02:41 PM
I mean the 'pre-measured ingredients' and the flour, but just y'know mix it a few seconds, scrape down the bowl, beat for two minutes --I bake at 350.
It's a nice blank canvas type cake for splashes and any kinds of fillings--it bakes and serves very well--perfect for tier cakes--still soft & fluffy but firm too.
Thank you, Meredith!

Oh my total gosh--just been so untogether lately!!! I loose things constantly and I've looked several times for my recipe I quoted for the cake I baked here, so I could double check it which I always do double check but I still can't find it--it's probably right by the dang yardstick somewhere--but I left out 2 T of oil and one and third cups of water--so so sorry!!!
So, does this look right?
Wedding Cake Base
Duncan Hines white cake mix
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup super-fine sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract,
1 tsp of almond extract
1 cup of sour cream
3 egg whites
1 egg
a little salt
2T oil
1 1/3 c. water

POTSDAM - There was a murder in Potsdam Saturday, but nobody seemed to mind.
A room of over 90 dinner-goers was tasked with unraveling the death of an eccentric professor at a performance of Montana Smith and the Curse of the Golden Crocodile, an interactive murder-mystery dinner performance held at the Potsdam Elks Club.
Tickets to the show benefitted the Dick Murphy/Dalton Guyette Memorial Youth Project, a local fund that provides scholarships to needy children to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities.
The cost of the dinner was covered with donations from local sponsers, so ticket prices went straight to the charity. The $35 price tag included dinner and the show.
Event organizer Amy Murphy said she was struck with the idea after watching a similar show at SUNY Potsdam.
It was so much fun, and I had this big brainstorm to do it as a fundraiser, she said.
Montana Smith, is a story of shifty characters at a prestigious museum trying to get their hands on a cursed treasure, a parody of the Indiana Jones series of movies.
The show was presented by five actors, members of the ACME Mystery Company of Syracuse, which has been performing similar shows since 1997.
The show is playing on two levels, said company president and actor Robert B. Greene. If you dont want to sweat the details, you can just come and enjoy a good comedy.
The show was told in three acts. The murder occurs at the end of the first, and the second begins after a break for dinner. After the second the audience submitted their theory about who the killer is and why, based on what they have seen and the written clues distributed to tables around the room. In the third act, all is revealed.
The audience is encouraged to get in on the action, and some are given lines to read.
Its fantastic, said Laurie Reynolds, of Waddington.
By the end of the first act her husband, David Reynolds, and his own theory on the possible perpetrator.
Theyre all crazy, he said.
Actor Mark A. Holt, of Syracuse, has been with ACME for 15 years. On Saturday he played a corrupt mayor who wanted the cursed golden crocodile to himself.
I find it incredibly rewarding and challenging, he said. I love the improvisational aspect.
The company has been to Potsdam twice before, both to perform for SUNY Potsdam students.
The most important part of an interactive show is the audience, according to acress Tracy S. Martin.
Its always different, every audience is different, she said. Our audience is our sixth actor and you never know what they are going to do.

Rumor has it that T-Mobile is all set to launch their new MyTouch 3G as anticipated as an Android phone are rearing up making it count by getting started in the blog world. This new gadget could actually mark the company's first real and serious move in releasing handsets which the carrier's 4G networking, which has enough material in it to outdo Sprint's 4G offerings. There has been a rumored image leak of what the new MyTouch 3G might look like came with a leaked photo and as the rumor exists this might just be the same that is all set to make its launch. Some might differ in their opinions that T-Mobile was getting serious on the Android smartphones with their Samsung Vibrant which is a variant of the Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S handsets by T-Mobiles, but when you consider the fact that every other carrier is taking aid of the same family in getting a device, it would be very difficult to actually consider that the offers presented by Magenta was good enough to make its own mark.
Before the Vibrant actually came along, the only handsets that were anywhere near good were HTC HD2, which despite their Windows Mobile operating system made quite a run and the Slide MyTouch which was powered by Android and seriously none had enough fire in them to compete in the recent market scenario. And if the rumors are true them this new release by T-Mobile, the MyTouch 3G will spearhead Magenta's initiative in such unlocked handsets. As the leaked pictures might suggest the MyTouch 3G looks quite similar to Slide. The screen on it is arguably larger than that of Slide's and might just touch the four inch milestone. And there is a fat chance that SLCD display will get a role to play in this phone. Among the other features that count, it has a front camera and a normal QWERTY keypad which is a slide out one. As this new handset is all set to blaze off into the market, its success can only be speculated.

My brother bought me this a few weeks ago because it had a game I like on the cover. I haven't listened yet, but I listened to a few of the snippets on that Amazon.com page.
Needless to say, it doesn't really sync up with Toejam & Earl. It might sync up pretty well with a bong though.

|I've been using these techniques for years to make perfect grilled chicken breasts.
not just by the amount of time the recipe indicates (or use a thermometer).
Chicken should feel firm to the touch, but not hard, when it's done. The outside of the chicken should be well-browned on both sides. You can also use an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer to check the temperature (USDA recommended temperature is 165 F for chicken breasts.) Cooking time will depend on the temperature of the chicken, how hot the grill is, the thickness of the chicken breasts, and even weather conditions if you're cooking outside.
Now, get busy and grill Some Chicken! Here are some of my favorite recipe ideas for cooking juicy chicken on the grill, hope you enjoy.
Rosemary Mustard Grilled Chicken
Very Greek Grilled Chicken.
Garlic, Lemon, and Herb Grilled Chicken Breasts
Grilled Chicken with Lemon, Capers, and Oregano.

DUBAI, U.A.E., 20th November 2012: Emirates, the Official Airline of the DP World Tour Championship, provided lucky golf fans the chance to play alongside some stars of the game as the tournament week got under way today with the Pro-Am.
14 amateurs were part of five different Emirates teams, playing alongside recent European Ryder Cup winners Miguel Angel Jimenez and Sergio Garcia from Spain, Padraig Harrington from Ireland, Jamie Donaldson from Wales and Charl Schwartzel from South Africa.
It was a day to remember for the fourth Emirates team. Led by recent Hong Kong Open winner, Miguel Angel Jimenez, the team consisted of Lutz Stammnitz, Peter Strub and Richard Vogel.
"It was a once in a lifetime experience to have been able to play golf with recent Ryder Cup winner Miguel Angel Jimenez, who has achieved so much in the game. Walking down the fairway with him was a fantastic experience and I've learned a lot to help me improve my game," said Richard Vogel, from Germany, who plays off 23.
To celebrate the launch of flights to Lyon on 5th December, Emirates will see its hospitality suite overlooking the 18th green looking like a typical street in the French gastronomy capital. Guests will be able to sample fine French gourmet cuisine whilst soaking up the atmosphere. A digital augmented reality application has also been developed to show guests a video of Lyon in a unique way.
The Emirates Lifestyle booth will also give spectators the chance to win the 'Golf Trip of a Lifetime'. Emirates' cabin crew will be showing golf fans how they can win return flights to Glasgow with three nights accommodation and a round of golf at the world famous Old Course Hotel at St Andrews. Emirates Cabin Crew will also be serving champagne and cold & hot towels, giving spectators a small taste of the Emirates experience at the event.

Comments about Gator Padded Tom Drum Bag:
Bought it for my 8" Gretsch rack tom with iso-suspension system. The tom fits into the bag easily and provides the light-duty protection I need.
Best Uses
Comments about Gator Padded Tom Drum Bag:
this is a good drum soft case/bag at a great value. let me first say: if you're looking at utilizing soft cases for your instruments, you're obviously not throwing them in the back of an equipment trailer/van with bass cabs and light poles; you need proper hard cases, no question... that being said, if soft cases are what is best suitable to your situation, then these are indeed nice bags at an even nicer price. these bags are a good value; the quality far exceeds the actual cost: big double zippers, durable exterior, lengthy strap, and embroidered logo. also note, my drums are all one inch smaller in depth than the case (e.g. 12x9 in a 12x10 case) and they still fit nicely.

Comments about Gator Padded Tom Drum Bag:
I ordered these bags for my PDP x7 kit,all fit very well with my rims mounts,nice bags,glad i got them
Best Uses
Comments about Gator Padded Tom Drum Bag:
I bought a set (6) of the Gator bags to protect my drums for both travelling to gigs and also for storage.
Compared to hard cases, they obviously do not give the same protection - but the price I paid for all six was a lot less than the cost of 1 hard case.
I used them at a gig within a couple of days of their arrival and found them sturdy and easy to carry. As usual, the drums were packed into the back of an SUV with all the other equipment. I'm glad I've now got something other than blankets around them to protect them.
Plus, when I get back home they are stored, between gigs and practice, in my basement in their bags.
Very happy with the quality, for the price. I would always say get hard shell cases, but for those of us on a tight budget these work really great! I hope they last . . .
Comments about Gator Padded Tom Drum Bag:
Over all they are perfect although I still use hard cases fo my bass and snare drum.
What can I say,for light travel they are perfect. No problem with the zippers and they are made very well.Easy to store out of the way at your gig.
Like I said they are made very well.
Also the price is right.

Does this result from NON-USE? i've always heard that welding on a magneto-equiped bike would effect the magneto,but through personal experience I know this is pure bull! Any input would be appreciated. TIA BREWSKI

Weh Island—locally known as "Sabang"—is a small, active volcanic island off Aceh, a state on the northwestern tip of Sumatra, Indonesia. Situated at the convergence of the Indian and Pacific oceans, the coral reefs around Weh teem with a great diversity of fish species. The island's beaches are a haven for nesting sea turtles, and its waters are full of healthy populations of whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, and reef sharks.
The 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean damaged coral reefs, which provided food and livelihoods to the communities hit hardest by the disaster. In the years that followed, WCS scientists examined how the reefs were recovering and developed a conservation model balancing the needs of local fisheries and coral ecosystems.
Shark fisheries have expanded in size and number around the world since the mid-1980s to meet the rapidly rising demand for shark fins, meat, and cartilage. Most of these fisheries are unregulated and undocumented. As a result, numerous shark species now face extinction. WCS is working to improve regulation of the global trade in shark products to reverse the decline of these remarkable fishes.
Ray populations in Indonesia face serious threats from overfishing, but recently the government has taken action to ensure their future.
WCS marine scientists provide a color code for coral conservation by mapping out the stress loads of the world's reefs.
WCS conservationists and their partners document large-scale coral bleaching and death in the wake of rising surface temperatures in the Andaman Sea on the order of a stunning 4 degrees Celsius.
WCS applauds the launching of the Coral Triangle Initiative at a summit in Indonesia. The leaders of six nations will work together to save this marine biodiversity jewel.

Frequent Shopper I purchased this rug based on the critique of others. It is soft and plush. Nice to step out on after a shower. It, also, washes and dries nicely. I find that most of VCS's products are worth the money. I trust that this will always be! March 5, 2013
Fantastic bath rug Well I have always had great luck with the purchases I have made at Vermont Country and this rug is no exception. When my husband gives a bathroom rug a two thumbs up I know I got a good one. It is thicker, softer and lasts through years of washings. What more could you want. I have come back to this rug several times for other areas in our home because it simply is made well and lasts. The big PLUS is you can turn it over and use the other side too. How many rugs can you do that with, no not many. Thanks again, great rug. December 14, 2012
Thick and last forever rugs! We've been using these rugs in every bathroom for over 30 years and still love them more than any other! Yes, we've had to replace a few, but not very often - well worth the extra price. They are thick, easy to wash, wear like iron. Wish they came in more colors! November 2, 2012

BENCHES POND: (July 03) The weather is very hot, so anglers need to be on the water before the sun rises or after it sets. The best bait choices are a worm-and-marshmallow combination or a worm with rainbow-sparkle PowerBait.
CARBON COUNTY COMMUNITY FISHING POND: (July 03) The pond has been stocked with plenty of eight- to nine-inch rainbows. The weather is very hot and there isn't much shade, so you'll want to fish before the sun rises or after it sets. It's best to fish deeper water with the bait suspended just off the bottom. Try a worm-and-marshmallow combination or a worm with PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow sparkle.
ELECTRIC LAKE: (July 03) The best fishing occurs in the early morning or evening. Aquatics Technician Tyrel Mills recommends a Jakes lure in gold or silver. Redside shiners are also effective and can be caught in minnow traps at the lake. Sportfish Biologist Calvin Black recommends using dog food to bait the trap.
FERRON RESERVOIR: (July 03) Fishing has been fair to good for anglers who use worms with PowerBait or worms with marshmallows. Fish during the cool times of day for the best results.
GIGLIOTTI POND: (July 03) Fishing has been great over the past few weeks. The best baits have been PowerBait (in chartreuse or rainbow with sparkles), nightcrawlers or both. The best artificial flies have been mosquito and woolly bugger patterns.
GRASSY LAKE: (July 03) This higher-elevation pond is usually good in July with a variety of baits, lures and artificial flies. Crowding will be an issue over the July 4 holiday weekend.
HUNTINGTON CREEK: (July 03) The Seeley Fire, and the subsequent flooding and erosion, killed all fish in the creek. The creek will not be restocked this year.
HUNTINGTON NORTH RESERVOIR: (July 03) Summer water sports and recreational boaters will dominate the reservoir over the holiday weekend. Anglers are advised to fish at the crack of dawn and then retreat to higher elevations during the day and into the evening. Remember to pass by Huntington Creek, which doesn't have fish after last year's fire.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR: (July 03)
Aquatics Biologist Calvin Black recommends that anglers fish around rocks near the shoreline for tiger muskies. Due to the size of these fish and clarity of the water, tiger muskies are visible as they hide behind structure. Black suggests working crankbaits in front of them to provoke a strike. For splake, Black recommends that anglers fish from boats in 40-50 feet of water and use tube jigs tipped with chub meat. This water has special regulations. Please consult the guidebook.
iLOWER FISH CREEK: (July 03) Fly and lure anglers have had good luck in the middle and lower stretches for bigger trout. The upper reaches are often good in the early morning, especially for fly-fishing anglers who can run a nymph under over-hanging banks. Special regulations apply. Please see the Utah Fishing Guidebook.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: (July 03) On June 28, Tom Ogden flyfished on the west side from 6 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. He fished in water that was about 15 feet deep. In that time period, he caught two small rainbows and nine cutthroats, one of which weighed three pounds, 10 ounces. The rest of the cutts ranged from 11-13 inches. Conservation Officer Devin Christensen recommends that boaters fish off the bottom with chub meat. For boaters, the bite drops off near noon. It stops much sooner for bank anglers. Shoreline anglers need to be on the water at dawn for the best success. Trout favor cold water and will retreat into deeper, cooler water as day breaks.

Shorebirdfan wrote:As you know I had the pleasure of watching Machado for 2 months and trust me he is special for more reasons than come from a bat or a glove. I've never seen someone who at 18 (early in the season) commanded such respect from teammates and carried himself so well while being humble to the point of shyness. Yet on the field when a pitcher was struggling, it was this shy 18 YO who walked to the mound and gave the pep talk. True leadership, and that is something no coach can teach. All that said, I still believe Dylan is just a cut above that.
Rising O's wrote:I love reading Machado quotes. One of the latest I read was how he avoided going over to talk to A-Roid during batting practice because he was an Oriole now. While Bundy does not have the personality, at least by his own admission and what I saw in his post draft interview, he has the work ethic our younger pitchers will hopefully emulate. Between the two of them I pray they can remake this organization. I know Hobgood gets a bad rap but his character was also a plus for Jordan so hopefully with a return to health and continued conditioning improvements he too can be a leader for us. I'm assuming Bobby is similar to his brother.
I don't know much about Avery or Schoop in this regard. The only thing I know about Hoes was his early professional career was impacted by his caring for his ill parents, that certainly has to be a plus.
He looked at me all serious and said, 'BG, you want to know why I love baseball?' I said, 'Why X?' And he said, 'It's so damn hard to be good at it"
ofahn wrote:Shorebirdfan wrote:I think Bundy progresses through the organization faster and reaches the majors either with or ahead of Machado.
Considering Dylan Bundy's talent and makeup I can understand why you might think he will move quickly but I don't see him as a factor at the ML level until at least 2014.
Even the best talent stalls somewhere in their development and has to learn to make adjustments. Machado tore up the Sally League this year but was a mere mortal in making just a half step jump to Frederick. I see this as his adjustment period but I think a lot of fans were convinced back in May that he would spend August in Bowie.
Bobby Bundy was lights out in Frederick but had dramatically different results in Bowie. I think he might have been tired (a COMPLETELY different issue that is a system wide problem) but it might have been that this was his adjustment period, or it might have been a bit of both.
The player that impressed me the most this year was Schoop. He had the same adjustment problems at Frederick as Machado but his August numbers were well above league average. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start the 2012 season at Bowie, and dominant play at that level can mean an audition in the majors.
Jordan wrote:Of course, Machado and Schoop were the two youngest players in the Carolina League. Their initial struggles were to be expected and didn't worry me.
Shorebirdfan wrote:So with Machado getting more than half the votes I would hope we will see a big number for Dylan at #2. This will probably be the easiest selection going down the board. I'd love to hear from anyone who voted for B Bundy or Hoes at #1 on their thought behind those players being ahead of the big 2.
I think the next big thing of interest is seeing when Nicky and Jason hit the board. Little tougher to project their value to me at this point.
rjc3 wrote:Have to think Schoop at #3 will be a bigger blowout than Bundy at #2. Don stated in his mailbag that Machado and Schoop are almost the same level, prospect status wise, so I went with Schoop over Bundy for #2. Like the proven performance.
I am guessing there were votes for Hoes due to age/league factors.....but then again Schoop and Manny were also more extreme on that level.
I think Delmonico and Esposito should follow Avery but in the meantime which of those two is the better prospect?

NORFOLK Police agencies will descend on Norwood-Norfolk Central School today and Thursday, but not for an emergency situation.
Theyll be participating in active-shooter training during the schools winter break.
While state police will lead the exercise, they have invited law enforcement agencies in the area to participate as well, Norwood-Norfolk Superintendent Elizabeth A. Kirnie said.
She said law enforcement officers plan to conduct four training sessions over the two days.
Theyre going to use our school building to stage possible situations with an intruder or intruders with possible explosive devices. Its really up to them as to how they set the stage, she said.
Capt. Michael J. Girard, state police Troop B zone commander, Canton, said passersby at the school were likely to see little because the majority of the exercise will be inside the school.
Theyll probably be seeing a mechanical robot that well deploy there for training. Everything else is inside the school, he said.
The exercise was planned because of the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., Mrs. Kirnie said.
She said that Thomas R. Burns, superintendent of the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services, invited state troopers and Sheriffs Department representatives to BOCES to talk to superintendents about how to keep our schools safer, to talk to us about our emergency plans.
Every school does have very formal, extensive emergency plans that we share with law enforcement, Mrs. Kirnie said.
She said troopers offered to do safety walk-through visits to schools and asked if they could use the buildings for active-shooter training.
It certainly helps hone their skills, she said.
It also benefits the school districts where the exercises are held by giving law enforcement agencies a familiarity with the building, Mrs. Kirnie said.
We are not having teachers or staff involved. We have chosen the break specifically for that reason, she said. In this case we felt there was more the possibility of people getting in the way. If staff were here, they would be pretty much confined to a space in their room.
The district also will hold lockdown drills to hone emergency preparation skills.
She said a meeting was planned for this week with officials from the town of Norfolk and village of Norwood to start discussions about using their police forces as a rotating presence in the school.
This weeks drill and discussion about placing a school resource officer in the district come following a January lockdown after a Norfolk man was charged with bringing a BB pistol into the building.
Among the initiatives district officials have taken is to change their building access procedures beginning Monday when students and staff return from their midwinter break.

Byron Station Unit 2 Begins Generating Electricity
BYRON, Ill. (Feb. 7, 2012) – Byron Generating Station Unit 2 began producing electricity at 12:02 p.m. today, following its reconnection to the electrical grid.
Teams of technical experts completed hundreds of maintenance and inspection tasks while the unit was offline, triple checking many of the redundant safety systems and other components to ensure its safe start-up and continued operation.
"Our highly trained engineers and operators performed exceptionally well in taking the proper safe steps to analyze data and make repairs, and then thoroughly checked and tested systems before restoring the unit to service," said Byron Station Site Vice President Tim Tulon. "Byron Station's redundant safety systems are designed to operate if needed, and the systems passed with flying colors."
The unit automatically came offline on Monday, Jan. 30 when power to an insulator in the facility's switchyard failed. The insulator has been repaired.
Byron Unit 1 continued to safely supply electricity to customers.
Byron Generating Station is in Ogle County, Ill., about 25 miles southwest of Rockford.
