Tools I'd Like to have....

 I LoVe to GLass Etch

and create PaPer Jewelry.

Both create a need for 

quality

repetitive 

workings.

This machine seems to right up that alley.

Especially for the

 glass etch stencils.

The possibilities are endless.

Cricut

Frosting ease with Frost Eaze

 Found this nifty little gadget

on the Cake aisle.

oh fun.

I wanted to use it to decorate 

the little cakes 

from the silicone molds. 

It worked just like I had hoped.

 Heat up frosting slightly,

pour into squeezy bottle,

cool a bit,

Frost!

It's worth it for projects like this, 

but I can't see using it for

frosting whole cupcakes.

Not enough frosting.

You'd be refilling it every two cupcakes!

I wasn't over the mOOn
about my overall finished product,
due to lack of practice with
something like this,
but I gave my Self some
wiggle room by saying'
"they're only 1st graders; they won't notice"

Like the Silicone Molds, I will be using the Frost Eaze again.

It also comes with two extra tips for variety.

I wonder how it would work for filling cupcakes?

I've been wanting to master the Frosting Bag

and this is a fun way to get incentive!

 SRSLY.

I am totally crushing on these!

Srsly?
Srsly!

I could completely see a Live YuLemas Tree
with nothing but a handful of these LoVeLies
hanging from the branches.

Add a string or two of
PoPcorn and CranBeRRy Garlands.

PumPkin Carving time....

We Love it!

These have always been my 

Favorite plumpkins...

all round and plump!

We actually even toasted the sEEds this year!

HaLLoWeen Silicone Molds

These are the first Silicone Molds I have ever used.

Meh.

The idea is beTTer than the actual outcome.

 I tried using buTTer and Oil for the molds.

 The buTTer just didn't work that well.

Apparently, you have to LIBERALLY douse with Oil 

to get a good release.

I did use the Golden BuTTer Cake Mix

which may have also been the problem.

It's a very thick, FLuFFy batter

which made it difficult to 

place in the molds

and to find a comfortable amount

of baTTer fiLLage.

I feel like it would have worked

mucho better if I had used 

a more fluid batter.

All in all,
I would try them again.

mmmm, fresh Persimmon and Walnut Bread.

{Priscilla says: Get BaKeD!}

Srsly!

Thanks to TWO generous neighbors

with Persimmon Trees,

I was able to make a triple batch of bread

this year.

I also have started using fresh Nutmeg,

and does it make alll the difference in the World.

that's right, got those persimmons high on nutmeg...

the whole house was sighing in Happiness.
