Sugar Sheets

I'd like to start this post by saying that I try not to pay too much attention to the number of followers that I have, but it's hard not to notice when those numbers move.  It's hard not to wonder why I might lose followers when it happens.  Well, last night I lost a couple and I can only imagine they were 49ers fans.  I'm Sorry.  I did not mean to offend anyone with the cake I posted at the end of yesterday's post.  It was all done tongue-in-cheek and it was a great game.  And the cake was a huge hit in real life. 

I've shared how to make fondant here.  And the heavily NY biased crowd at the party we attended appreciated my depiction of a Justin Tuck sack.  But they also were impressed with the Giants logos adorning the sides of the cake.

It all started with a new to me Wilton product - Sugar Sheets.

I printed out multiple logos.

And used a clean exacto knife to cut out the letters.

They just pressed into the icing and stuck.

Thanks for popping in and trying out a new product with me.  I'm linking this up to Something Swanky's Sweet Treats Thursdays.

Finally!

We have snow, real snow, not just a little dusting that disappears as soon as you step in it.

We spent hours playing in the snow yesterday.  The sleds and snowboards were dusted off.

We brought along some friends.  SB and the Princess climbed up that hill about a million times.

WD and the Tank got in a good amount of "kid" time, too.  I love it when the 15 yr olds act like their still little.

And I did my best to attack the holiday pounds with some cross-country skiing.

I'd like to have gotten out and enjoyed the snow today, too, but I had a playoff cake to make.

That's Justin Tuck knocking the ball out and the helmet off of Alex Smith.  Heading to a playoff party.  Thanks for popping in playing in the snow with me.
