Good morning!
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Busy busy here. I ended up making 2 cakes for Brandon's party. The first one was a total fail! It went together nice, was straight when I started frosting it but by the time I was done, it looked like the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Only worse.
Marti said it was fine but I stewed over it and decided to start over. I used whipped cream on top instead of frosting the second time, just to make it lighter. And used dowels, which I skipped the first time because all the cakes baked nice and they set together nice and flat, I thought the frosting would be enough glue to hold them in place. But I was wrong!! Here is the finished 2nd cake...

(I resized it so hope it is ok)
Anyway, not a perfect effort. But much better than my first one. And it seemed to be a hit. Everyone liked it, and they loved eating it, there is none left. Haha. Had to use a piece of the dowel to hold the handle up, too, the fondant did not harden even though I had it in the fridge overnight.
I'm beat today! Not planning on doing a whole lot.
Have a great day! Big hugs and positive vibes to all!
Amazing cake!
Gotta hate it when all that happens. How's your health care benefits

Yeah to the scholar!
Oldest son is now a graduate of Plymouth State.
Might have had a bumpy start but - Wow! - he finished great:
Straight As... Now he's planning on a graduate degree.
He is proving quite the credit to our family tree.
Let's give him a holler
Did the apple fall far from the tree?
I wonder can he rhyme as good as Mrs. Smee? (j)

Mmmmm - good bone structure!6/6 - the national day of sweden! Lots of celebrations, flags and stuff. The date was originally the coronation date of Gustav Vasa 1523 but nobody seems to know it now. To most people it is way back in time i guess, to me it seems to be very recently. I guess my perspective is a bit warped. Some people dress in special national clothes too to celebrate and honor the day. Our Crown Princess is one of them.

The one on the left reminds me of the lady who plays Bones (Emily Deschanel)

Who went to work for UNTUCKit,
He got bored with clothes,
And picking his nose,
So he quit his job and said, "suck it".

Freshman year in college? I think Sai King describes it well in Hearts in Atlantis
Thank you! We're so happy for him... If a bit surprised.
We were worried at the start but then he realized
College life is easier than working every day
At a job that wouldn't offer all that much in pay.
He's a lucky SoB because his father paid
And we'll help with law school, too. The kid has got it made.
Hopefully, our youngest son will also do as well.
Right now, though, he's in the midst of his own bumpy spell.
Smart but really lazy is how I'd describe my son.
He slept through the starting pistol, now he better run.
Maybe that's what Freshman year in college is about?
Stumbling, until - with luck - you get it figured out.
