Wel back from the doctor as we thought gallbladder needs to come out so surgery for mom is on Tuesday or Thursday next week.

Sorry to hear it. Hope it helps her feel better though. Sending you good thoughts!

Yesterday @ 8:11 pm by cakesbycarla

Thanks Carla I know she will feel better when it is all done she is just not herself right now and then maybe I can get her to eat.

Yesterday @ 8:32 pm by Sandys Sweets

It is such an easy procedure now. My husband has his removed this past jan. Keeping fingers crossed and sending well wishes your way!!

Today @ 6:36 am by cakeswithcharacter

WHOOT! Cool new show!

Thursday @ 11:19 pm by TraciiVCL

Sounds like a great opportunity!

Friday @ 3:06 am by Justin Lynch

Sounds interesting!!

Friday @ 6:32 am by cakeswithcharacter

Sounds great!!!!!!

Friday @ 7:30 am by signaturesweetskim

Now why couldn't this have shown up twenty years ago while I was still young and attractive???? (oh yeah...I wasn't doing cakes twenty years ago! hahahahaha)

Friday @ 8:21 am by Sally Hackney

Sally you are still young and attractive. Age is just a number and our looks are due to wisdom

Friday @ 8:32 am by redtiaraprincess

Very interesting. My question is...do you have to buy a bunch of materials to be in a competition (like Challenge) or do you get selected and they provide materials? I'm very curious about this :0)

Friday @ 1:25 pm by cakesbycarla

Good question Carla! I saw this earlier and thought the same thing as the costs for Challenge would have been prohibitive for me if I had the stuff to make the cut:)

Friday @ 6:15 pm by julief

Very well said Katherine :)

Friday @ 7:53 pm by Sandys Sweets

Networks will not pay for competitor equipment

Friday @ 10:12 pm by kerry

Consider it an investment in publicity.

Friday @ 10:13 pm by kerry

Oh yes, Sally, I do not have wrinkles I have shrinkles -- my own word for smile lines!

Friday @ 10:14 pm by kerry

I luv watching these shows!

Saturday @ 2:26 am by Debbie Blucher

Shrinkles!! hahahahaha...I love it!!!

Saturday @ 8:03 am by Sally Hackney

You have my leave to borrow it Sally!

Sunday @ 9:52 am by kerry

Yes, Challenge is on at 9 am these days, although it changes.

Sunday @ 7:18 pm by kerry

We had to pay for everthing but was reimbured a small amount.

Sunday @ 9:24 pm by signaturesweetskim

Hey Kim -thanks for your info. Did you have to pay for hotel and airfare too? Or just pay for the cake materials you used for the show? Thanks for your help!

Sunday @ 9:42 pm by cakesbycarla

FNTV pays for hotel and airfare or gas with restrictions. This is a different studio so the criteria may well be very different.

Sunday @ 10:14 pm by kerry

No problem..flight and hotel was paid! Materials we were told how much they would cover.anything more was our expense. Overral great experience....Kerry is right viewed the additional cost as huge investment in publicity!!

Sunday @ 10:20 pm by signaturesweetskim

Thank you Kim & Kerry! Great insight. I might send in my stuff - basically like buying a lottery ticket in mind mind LOL! But want to know what the protocol is just in case. Thanks for the info!

Sunday @ 10:24 pm by cakesbycarla

If you are not in the swim you have no chance -- ask the questions you want to have answered.

Monday @ 9:00 pm by kerry

Talked to casting they couldnt give alot of info...but said something about over the top designs... incorporating another medium.? I was confused...LOL

Monday @ 9:39 pm by signaturesweetskim

Thanks Kim! I sent in my stuff. We'll see. Did you send in yours? Hope so!

Yesterday @ 10:54 am by cakesbycarla

Good luck to all!

Today @ 12:29 am by kerry

OK so imagine Cupcake Wars, you make the cupcakes create the setup and then you have a carpenter create the stand.

Today @ 12:34 am by kerry

That is the third party so to speak!

Today @ 12:35 am by kerry

Ok think I get it. Thanks Kerry. I submitted my info as well Carla!

Today @ 8:59 am by signaturesweetskim

Let us know how it goes!

Today @ 9:24 am by kerry

One more question...Kerry are you directly involved in this new show?

Yesterday @ 8:57 am by Sally Hackney

Yesterday @ 10:52 am by cakesbycarla

We are very lucky here tohave so many Provincial Parks all within 2-3 hours for weekends and some within a days drive that would knock your socks off with the scenery!

Monday @ 10:01 am

Thank god it's Monday! Phew! Got through the weekend. Hubby had his hernia (around his belly button) surgery last week. I took care of him over the weekend and he's going back to work today (against my wishes). I think he should've stayed home another day or so, but he thinks he'll be okay. Now to get my house cleaned up and laundry caught up. I'm sooooo behind! And then start on my kids' birthday cakes for their birthday party this weekend. Have a great day all!

Hi Carla, what kind of cakes are you going to make?

Monday @ 10:06 am by redtiaraprincess

My son wants a spinosaurus "vs" t-rex cake LOL! And my little girl is all over the map but definitely wants something princess in nature. Probably going to make her a doll cake of some sort. Right now it looks like it'll be a sleeping beauty one. :0)

Monday @ 1:38 pm by cakesbycarla

Hi Carla! sounds like you've been super busy there!

Monday @ 1:42 pm by Justin Lynch

Both your kids have the same birthday or do you just make it for both at once?? (Gee...I don't think I've ever asked ....are they twins?)

Monday @ 2:29 pm by Sally Hackney

LOL! No - thank goodness they are not twins. But their birthdays are only a week apart on the calendar, so we just do one big party so all the family can gather once for both (better than two parties in the same month). Last year I made a Sleeping Beauty book (she's alittle obsessed with Sleeping Beauty) and a Solar System model cake for my son.

Monday @ 4:47 pm by cakesbycarla

Hope things go easy breezy for you Carla :)

Monday @ 7:18 pm by Sandys Sweets

Good to hear that everyone is on the mend!! Good luck with the cakes and can't wait to see the finished product!!

Monday @ 7:26 pm by cakeswithcharacter

The wedding went beautifully, everyone had a great time, the bride and groom loved the cake as did the guests. Been a while since a I did a cake for real people, was fun to be back in the trenches!

It is a good feeling seeing smile and hearing how good it was. It validates all the hard work.

Sunday @ 8:41 pm by Sandys Sweets

Hi Sandy! I had all black up my nose from my airbrush yesterday, it goes everywhere! I even had it in a box spraying it, but you could see it floating through the air! Lol.

Monday @ 1:47 am by Justin Lynch

Have fun playing!!

Monday @ 6:28 am by cakeswithcharacter

Oh Sandy...I am so darned afraid of the airbrush! Shame on me!!! I love the hydranger cutters.

Good morning all! Another new week, where is time going? Making some suet balls with my students today for their PSD lesson; the unit is Community Action, so we plan to make bird feeder logs and reliever to local houses. Home to decorate a board and put the finishing touches to my Labrador. Happy Monday!

So help me out here Justin... what do you teach? and what is PSD lesson? and finishing touches to your Labrador? lol...come on now, don't leave a good woman hangin'! :-)

Monday @ 3:37 am by Debbie Blucher

Sounds like a busy week for you Justin! Have a good one!!

Monday @ 6:28 am by cakeswithcharacter

Debbie I don't know what PSD is but the Lab is one made of rkt. You will learn as you stay here that dogs are Justins specialty. He has a real talent at sculpting their little faces and bodies!!

Monday @ 8:18 am by Sally Hackney

Sounds like a great week planned. Can't wait to see the lab. Have a great one Justin

Monday @ 8:47 am by redtiaraprincess

Can't wait to see the latest pooch! Have a good day!

Monday @ 9:58 am by cakesbycarla

PSD = Personal, Social Development. I have covered my board and painted my Labs eyes; just wating for it to dry up so I can go back in for some more details.

Yesterday @ 7:40 am by cakeswithcharacter

Eight hundred cupcakes???? That isn't within my realm of thinking!! I hope they don't have to have special decorations on each one!!

Yesterday @ 8:43 am by Sally Hackney

Do you ever have help Jean?

Yesterday @ 12:36 pm by TraciiVCL

Do you have any limits you set for orders in a week?? Just curious if there is a number you won't go over?? LOL
