Ladies Only Thread

[46andygirl]

Speaking of parties, who is the cake baker in this thread? My daughter wants a three tiered cake for her birthday, and I'm not sure how to make one of those suckers.

I am the cake lady and would be more than happy to help you out. Just let me know or send me a PM Hildy.

And I forgot to say Happy Friday to my GF"s here. Hope you are staying warm.

And here are some more pics.(all for now)

[Hildy910]

Thanks so much, and those cakes look amazing!
I'm just trying to figure out where you get pans for a tiered three layer cake, and whether I have to put in wooden stakes or something to keep the superstructure vertical, and stuff like that.

Thank you for the compliment.

For the pans and most other equipment: Smart and Final(or any restaurant supply store), Also Michael's Craft store sells lots of cake equipment.

You may want to ask any bakeries in the area is they sell cake supplies also. I have an easy way to stack tiers using regular plastic straws, and for 3 tiers you can really decorate beautifully.

46andygirl is the cake queen!!!

Thank you Vicki!

I kid you not when I say that I was just ready to move us up to the top. Like 2 seconds ago.

[Pepper03]

So are you guys control freaks or what.

Guess who was back last night.

Advice needed on sports bras fot the girl-she need one because her basketball uniform is a tank top.

Any suggestions-obviously she is 9 and has next to nothing that needs support, so price is my main issue.

Yes, I think some of us are control freaks.

Sports bra for a 9 year old....I just buy the ones at Target for my daughter. Or Sports Authority/Dicks/Modells, etc since you don't need the heavy duty ones.

Cakes are fun, but I prefer Pies.

[Hildy910]

What is it with men and dessert-variety pie? Nearly all the men I know prefer pie to cake, while the women are the opposite.
My husband, who is spoiled rotten by my mother, gets a pie of his choice baked for him each month by her. It's his birthday present, but still. My BIL and my nephews both eschew birthday cake for birthday pie (and coconut cream pie at that. Yikes.)

I think George was talking about another kind of pie. But I'm sure he likes the regular variety as well

I had that same feeling! So I specified dessert variety b/c I have a pure mind that doesn't frequent the gutters.

[Paiglee]

Sports bras for kids, depending on her size, try a small ladies 30-32, I usually get my daughter's at Target or Wal-Mart. Wal Mart has a great selection, and all kidns of levels of support. They sell them in the girls department also, but those were too small for my daughter (who, as her pediatrician says, sure lost the genetic lottery when it comes to body type -- needless to say, even the cats aren't thin in our house!)


As to George and his preferences for pie vs. cake , does he have some sort of alarm on his computer, in addition to the bat signal, that when certain words come up (I probably set the alarm off already) he gets some sort of electronic signal to make one of his "georgian" comments??

Why Yes. I am notified Immediately.

Any other questions, Wench?

[Paiglee]

I am looking for a recipe for an old-fashioned birthday cake. Does anyone remember when bakeries used to sell a large (probably 5 inches high x 8 or 10) one layer dense birthday cake, before they all started using premade mixes and everything was layer cakes? It was similar to a pound cake, but not quite as dense and sweeter??

46andygirl - you are an artiste!

[Paiglee]

Why Yes. I am notified Immediately.

Sir, you are quick. Alas, not always a good thing!

Yes, it's a problem.

Ask Superman. He was faster than a speeding bullet. No wonder Lois wanted nothing to do with him.

[Trish]

There are certain products out on the market that can help solve that problem. I saw them last night with my own eyes.

Men on top, no, no, although the Patriots lost, I still cannot allow the Men on Top!

Congrats Colts Fans, your team really deserves to be in the Superbowl. Kind of reminded me of 2004 ALCS, lot shorter, but similar Karma.

You gave me a much needed little smile this morning.

It was a great game, but I can't root for the Colts in the SB. Just cannot.

[Pepper03]

It was a great game, but I can't root for the Colts in the SB. Just cannot.

I don't even know if I'll watch the game-we are still trying to have Christmas on my husband's side of the family since my MIL is still in a nursing home and that looks like the day we'll do it. I think I'll bring ELF with me.

[Paiglee]

I will watch if I am not busy consoling Tom Brady or something, but obviously not with much interest. I do love the commercials.

Also, I was a happy woman, as I do not have to host the SuperBowl party for my husband's football group - sort of like a book club, with no reading, and lots of liquor.

I cannot root for the Bears, I still remember 1986, boy what a lousy year, Pats humiliated in January and Sox in World Series---same year.

I actually felt badly for Manning when Assante Samuel scored the touchdown, but then, they did that Vulcan Mind Meld transfer at Halftime, and the Colts became the Pats and vice versa, likke a really bad freaky friday ESPN movie!

Yeah, it was very amusing getting a lecture from Mike "Mr. Class" Ditka last week, after the crap his team used to pull, including letting the "Refridgerator" score a TD when the Pats were already being humiliated, or the Super Bowl Shuffle recorded before the SB, or some of the other stuff they pulled.

Dang - I am sorry I missed the Vulcan Mind Meld transfer . I watched a few minutes of the game yesterday and then turned it off with about 4 minutes to go (tells ya how much I really cared about the outcome).
I just have been unable to get into football and I used to be a complete coach potato on Sundays, watching whatever game was on.
I haven't even watched the SuperBowl in years ... not even for the commercials.

On another note - anyone been to Aruba?
I'm going in March - we decided against All-Inclusive, b/c I am told that the restaurants are pretty good.
Anyone who has been there have any recommendations?

[46andygirl]

Good afternoon/evening to all....Someone was showing the love to Peyton Manning last night and blessed him with his first Super Bowl....I was a happy girl last night!

Party time and then a matter of days until pitchers and catchers report!

BTW, Thank you to everyone for the super nice cake decorating compliments. What an ego-boost!

[destelle]

Hey - that's a good reason to celebrate the Super Bowl !

Absolutely! Are you hosting a party or going to one?

Hi ladies!

[46andygirl]

Hello. How are you?

[Hildy910]

I cannot wait till Truck Day! It's like Valentine's Day, Christmas and a really great couture sale where all the salepeople are really Chippendales, all rolled into one.

Do you guys not celebrate Truck Day?

I don't know about the others, but I have never heard of it.

I have not either, and need to know of what you are speaking!!!
It sounds divine.

It's Sox-related, but I thought the Yankees might have a similar thing. Then again, that is in New York, where there are other more exciting things going on than a truck being loaded. We have to take what we can get up here in the provinces.

[fredgmuggs]

My wife celebrates truck day nearly everyday. The UPS guy drives up to the house and there is a celebration.

You don't mind that she celebrates with the UPS guy on a daily basis?

[fredgmuggs]

I'm understanding that way.

Hey, sometimes it's even with the FedEx, USPS, or DHL guy. I never know who is going to be knocking at the door. And I usually have to sign for them.

Wow, that is cool. I can totally relate to an event that marks the beginning of baseball season.
