April Fool's Day!

Hope you have a happy one filled with good humor and a lot of laughter.

And it's not only Americans who will be celebrating today. April Fools' Day is celebrated all around the world on the 1st of April. Some people call it All Fools' Day.

This is the one day of the year when people are supposed to allow practical jokes and general foolishness.

It used to be celebrated on New Year's Day and in some countries like New Zealand, South Africa and the UK the jokes can only last until noon. If you play a prank after that, you will be called an "April Fool".

Here in America, we play pranks all day long - even into the evening.

But no matter how you celebrate April Fool's Day - I hope yours is filled with good humor.

Happy April Fool's Day-Duff and Buddy Better Watch Out

But this is NO joke.

I'm a true Wannabe: Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes


Have any of you watched Cake Boss or The Ace of Cakes? I love 'em - but I hate 'em too.

Those guys are a bunch of frauds. They make that cake decorating look so EZ-smeazy that even I thought I could do it. But, if you've followed my blog maybe you might have seen my fondant FAIL. That cake was an absolute disaster. But I'm not a quitter--especially when it comes to food, just look at me and you'll know that's true. So what did I do. . . ?

I signed up for my first-ever cake-decorating class through Joann Fabrics. I know - who would have thought that a fabric store would have cake decorating classes, but they have that and more: knitting, crocheting, sewing--okay you might have expected sewing classes at a fabric store but you get my point.

So for the next four-weeks, I'll be doing my homework, reading my course materials and climbing my way up from that fondant fail floor to a final fondant rematch.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'll keep you posted and we'll see if a little expert guidance--thanks to Joann--can help a wannabe Cake Boss or a new Ace of Cakes...heck, Duff and Buddy better watch out--this might be the start of a beautiful relationship between me and cake decorating.

And with a little luck--or maybe a whole lotta luck--I might just be on my way to becoming the new Queen of Cakes;)

What can I say, my Mom taught me to dream BIG.
