My Fondant Train Cake…I am proud of it!

My son turned 2 a couple weeks ago and is way into trains.  I had to make his cake and I found the most awesome pan on amazon. It is a train muffin pan. How cool is this?

It is a muffin pan and worked GREAT! (picture of full cake at the end of post of course)

Anyway, I wanted to make a chocolate cake but knew that this train would be a lot cuter decorated with a white or yellow cake so I made the muffin pan a yellow cake.

Go to page 2 to read the rest of the post and see the cake!

A great tip for shoppers who like to find the best deal.

When you are trying to buy a specific product, it can take hours or days to find the web sites that sell them. Then you have to take time to make your own comparisons. Become.com is a great shopping web site that helps you cut down your comparison shopping time, and helps free up more time for yourself.

Look at these three products and see how easy become.com makes it to compare. Electric fireplace, Fireplace screen, and Throw pillow covers. There are a ton more too!

Your time is worth something and I love that I found become.com to help me save time. I do not have to sacrifice other important things in my life, especially during the upcoming holiday season!

Wednesday is a good day, for most!

I LOVE Bob and Tom, I am not going to lie. They make me laugh!

Would you really feed this to your child?

Festivals are not my favorite place to go and there are many reasons. The biggest reason is the food. It is all over priced, FAT, and bad for you and I refuse to feed it to my kids.

I guess I am the last one to know, because this food has been around for a while now, and I just heard of it. Since I am not a festival fan, I am assuming this is why I am the last to know. Want to know what it is, then read on.

Can you talk yourself into or out of a headache??

My husband and I got into a little “discussion” about headaches the other day.

He wakes up a couple times a week, it least, and says “oh I have one of those headaches that is only going to get worse!”

I finally confronted him the other day and he did not like that very much. Here is how the conversation played out. Continue reading
