What a Day...
(and it's only 3:00!)

Well, here it is...the monster truck cake that I have been thinking about for almost a month now. One of our friends at church asked me to do this for her son's 7th birthday. I think the wheels could be larger and the truck body could be smaller but that's what happens when you draw out a template and don't buy a mold for it!

This is what the kitchen looks like after I am done baking a cake or cookies. It's always worse with cakes since there are so many different steps and stages involved. The kitchen will look like this again tomorrow because I have to make some Steeler and helicopter cookies (two different orders!). Now you can see why I chose to blog instead of clean up my mess!!

Special Delivery!

Bernie sent these Eat 'N Park Steeler smiley face cookies as a little treat. They were wrapped in two Super Bowl XLIII version Terrible Towels. I was getting a little nervous that Bernie had forgotten about us. Yesterday my sister sent an email with a picture attachment of her "Steelers Wall" in her office. It had a nice new Super Bowl terrible towel. I asked her were she got it. Then I got another email from her with a picture of smiley face cookies. In the email she thanked mom and Bernie for the cookies and terrible towels. I was thinking, "What the heck!" But then I thought about the fact that Pittsburgh is closer to Michigan than Georgia. So, our cookies would just come today. Then Bernie called and was talking to Jeremy about it and I heard Jeremy say, "Oh, so Johnny got his cookies too!?" At that point I really did think that Bern forgot about us-I AM the middle child after all....the forgotten one. I reassured myself that we do live in Georgia and things are always a little slower down here. Thanks Bern-it was worth the wait!!
