First day of School on Monday, It's going to be a busy week this week, I have more tomatoes to do. I canned 23 jars of sauce last week and the tomatoes are still coming on strong with lots of big Fruit. We want to can the rest as stewed tomatoes and just crushed tomatoes. Should be Interesting.

Hi everyone,
I'm starting school on Monday. I'm very excited and at the same time a little nervous to start all this new stuff.

I have an order for a carrot cake, looking forward to baking that, I never baked one on my own. hope it turns out good. I have a good recipe just need time to make it.

going to Hershey Park tomorrow with free tickets from Chevy everything's better free.

I made Chocolate chocolate chip muffins for Linda today they turned out good but all the chips sunk down to the bottom. I'm going to have to work on the batter to get them to stay suspended during baking. My batter may have been too runny though, muffin batter makes better muffins when it's lumpy.

I sold two pies on Saturday, hopefully the first of many. I made a sour Cherry and a Rhubarb crumb top. I sold them to a guy at church and I am happy to say he was raving over them the next day. I am very pleased with the way they came out. the pictures i posted are of the pies I sold. The crumb top is the Rhubarb as i said and the other is the sour cherry.

To you people that make all those amazing fondant flowers; "I salute you"! I definitely need more practice with the fondant. My sister showed me how to make a rose out of fondant and mine looked like, well I'm not sure what it looked like. I didn't take any pictures because it was late and I needed to get home, plus they looked terrible. Needless to say, I will continue practicing as often as I can and will take some pictures the next time, I promise.

My sister Katie and I are making fondant flowers for a cake on Saturday. not sure how many flowers, but I'm still looking forward to finally having the time to actually get some things started. will post pictures when i get them.

Today is Father's Day. My wife got me a 28 piece set of tips for pipping butter cream icing and a spatula. I'm excited to start practicing flowers and leaves. I need to work on my lettering too. This should be interesting.
