Best tasting watermelon I ever had....

[Mikey]

I thought I was the gardener in the family but the Fetching One out did me today.  Her watermelon was the sweetest tasting watermelon I have ever tasted.  Even the seeds were good.....  I wanted seconds but she pointed at my tummy and said I didn't even need firsts........

That does look refreshing!  What happen to the other half?  Mikey?

Lol Annette!

And looks really good Mikey, tell your wife if she doesn't want you eating it, she shouldn't have made it!

[Mikey]

That actually was her "practice" cake for our granddaughter who arrives in a few days.  It will be her 1st birthday.  The Fetching One took the cake tonight to a choral group she sings with.  All I got was half a slice of one of those wedges......

Wow, that cake looks awesome!  Was it an actual cake, or an ice cream cake?

[Esther]

Good job. Has she ever used fondant?

[Jerry]

I'd gain weight just looking at it!

[Mikey]

Was it an actual cake, or an ice cream cake?

It was a regular cake.

Has she ever used fondant?

She has made several using fondant but I don't like the texture or taste of fondant.  The only photo I have of a fondant covered cake is this one that she did for our son's birthday at the cast party where he was the stage manager for a play "Into the Woods".  You would have to see the play to understand the boot.....

Her cakes look wonderful

I love the play into the woods.  My daughter was in it in high school.

Wonderful cakes. DH hates watermelon but loves cake. I bet he would eat that one though. Your wife is very talented.

[Esther]

Tell Bev, her cakes look great. Also tell her that I have several friends and relatives who are semi pros----either have a small business doing cakes or wish they could have----there is a fondant you can make instead of buying it and it tastes a lot better than the purchased stuff. If she hasn't already, tell her to Google it.

Thanks Esther.  Right now she is not into cake making.  She has several hobbies and I think she got burned out on decorative cake making a couple of years ago.  Now she only makes them for special occassions.  When she does make a cake she gives it away because she doesn't want us eating all that sugar.

''she gives it away'' , that is grounds for divorce [cruel and unusual punishment] . uh , just to be clear, i've reread what i typed , i'm referring to the cake  .
