Chocolate Jennie

Experiment 080809

While web-surfing I happened to run across an article that showed how to create custom cake topper decorations by using white and dark chocolate. Here are a couple of shots of my first attempt. Yes, I did use a signed Devil's Panties comic for my template. (Note the plastic bag in addition to the layer of wax paper.) Yes, I'm expecting an anti-stalking restraining order from Georgia any day now....

Carrie's ITT Graduation Party Cake

Experiment 080629

In what was probably one of our better experiments in mental manipulation we waited a week before throwing Carrie a surprise Graduation party. I love being evil....

Carrie's ITT Graduation

Adventure 080621

If you happened to be at the June 21st Knoxville TN ITT Graduation ceremony I would like to take a moment to apologize for my friends. They were the bunch of yahoos who screamed "For The WIN!!!" at the top of their lungs. Still, we all are inordinately proud of Carrie, so I suppose a little extra enthusiasm should be forgiven.

Greg's Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

Experiment 080503

For some reason neither Kathy or I can remember now, (It must have seemed like a good idea at the time....) Kathy created a bright pink Hello Kitty Birthday Cake for Greg this year. It was incredibly bright, colorful, and terrifying. I had Hello Kitty nightmares the night after she decorated it. (Shudder....)

Marble Springs Living History Weekend

Adventure 080419

Despite living just under five miles away from the site for the last five years I had never visited the John Sevier Marble Springs Tennessee State Historic Farmstead until Kathy and I noticed that they were holding a Living History Weekend. Marble Springs is a small site but it's obvious that many people have put a lot of love and effort into keeping it maintained. My Mother, Step-Dad, Kathy, and I spent a very pleasant Saturday afternoon wandering around the several buildings that have been moved to the site and restored including a Tavern/Trading Post, a Loom House with a very impressive working loom, the Walker Cabin, and the John Sevier Cabin where some claim that John Sevier lived for the last years of his life.
