<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I always talk about how much I enjoy decorating and that I do everything I do to glorify Jehovah's name and this month I was blessed to be asked to decorate some amazingly beautiful cookies for my Bible teacher's husband. The two of them are such an inspiration to me and I love them so much. I loved making these for him. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As you all know I've been a little preoccupied the last few months. I know, I know. "Jaime, why can't you just keep up?" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well here's the thing. I am a proclaimer of Jehovah's Kingdom and so I make sure that He is number one in my life before everything else.

So for me that means praise him before I do anything and thank him for all things and then all the things I do after that will be blessed. I "do all things for God's Glory". (1 corinthians 10:31) It is very important to me. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 24px;">Many people have been quite upset at this change in faith and have even set out to destroy my it but I have not allowed them to shake me. I love Jehovah and my work. I love my cookies and I love my customers. You all are so wonderful and have been so accommodating through my transition. I want you to know how thankful I am to have you. Please know that not much has changed for my business. If you have a question about something please don't hesitate to ask me. I will answer honestly and as quickly as possible. </span><br />

Congratulations you two! Many years and blessings for you both! </span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well as you know the Bride and our friends all came over to help roll and dip and basically get this beast ready for the Big day! So here is a Montage of Me (the baker) and My Minions...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So now, for the moment of truth! It is nothing like the beautiful creation that Gabby Loubiere made but it is still beautiful. They loved it and that is ALL that mattered to me! For those who do not know what cake balls are they are NOT eggs! I have gotten several, "Are those EGGS?!" Yeah, depressing. I know. Well here you go guys! It really did turn out beautifully. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Do not take this kind of cake on ALONE. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Cover the dummies with tissue paper of a pretty color. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. BUY A CAKE POP ROLLER from <a href="http://heavenlycakepops.com/blog/">Heavenly Cake Pops</a>!</span></div>

I'm working on a 6 tier CAKE BALL Wedding cake! Yes, I know what you are thinking..."a what?" Well here is my Pinterest find... It is NOT exactly what I am doing but SUPER close... <a href="http://www.brewhahabr.com/" target="_blank">Gabby Loubiere </a> the fabulous creator of this beauty did such an amazing job on it...

I tell you what this has been by far the most fun and most exhausting cake. That and it is my first cake ball CAKE. I'm hoping for the best possible outcome from my buddy the Bride. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I just want you to know that rolling cake balls by hand is NO JOKE! If you wanna see a pro do it with a cool gadget you should check out <a href="http://heavenlycakepops.com/blog/" target="_blank">Heavenly Cake Pops</a> If you want a workout though...all you gotta do is bake a cake. Let it cool. Then, destroy it and add frosting (just enough that is begins to look like edible playdough). Then ROLL! I'm a bit of a perfectionist as you can see below but They do look so nice! </span></div>

Well, I'm out of practice as you </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">saw with my last cake. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, I decided to try a wedding cake (since my best friend from High School is going to be getting married and asked me to do hers next June, I needed a little practice) and it turned out beautifully. It wasn't perfect at all, which was a let down for me, but I did good for my first one. Lesson learned as far as what to cover the cake in too. I was a NERVOUS WRECK up until I delivered it and even afterward! I've been dying to hear how it went over at the wedding. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Wedding Cake is a combo cake. The top and bottom are a tower chocolate cake recipe that I got from an amazing baker and former faculty member at TSTC. The middle is a white almond sour cream cake. I decided to cover the top and bottom in Milk Chocolate Ganache and white butter cream for the middle and then cover it with white fondant. I really feel like I did a great job on that, however there is definitely room for improvement! I think next time I will do all white butter cream or all white chocolate ganache.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The grooms cake was a tower chocolate with a chocolate ganache based frosting and then a Beach Theme. It was very last minute. I thought I would try to "write" their initials in the "sand" but that did NOT turn out how I wanted. I tried to use icing to "write" them... NOPE. Was not happening...it didn't want to stick...it only stuck to the "sand" and I was just getting frustrated. Needless to say I decided it was time to just grab some umbrellas and just go with it. In case you are wondering what Tower Chocolate Cake tastes like....IT TASTES LIKE BROWNIES! Yes, you heard me...I love this cake recipe and so do my little "minions" (kids). </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Howdy
my lovelies! I have missed you! How was your week? Well, last weekend I baked
and decorated a little #1 Cake for a sweet little boy named Kane! This cake was the first cake I’ve made in almost a year!
Yes, I couldn’t believe it either! I
also had to Airbrush it, which as you guys know, is not something I’m great at. Here is the
run down of how difficult this cake was for me. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well last but certainly not least My cake Did turn out pretty good. I was given a picture from the client and after some research I found that it was from a Lady named <a href="http://cakecentral.com/g/i/2306722/mickey-mouse-clubhouse-1st-birthday-cake/" target="_blank">JoannM </a>from the Cake Central Website. She did a fantastic job on hers and Mine doesn't even come close. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I've started painting cookies using a paintbrush (strictly used for this purpose, of course!) and turns out I love to paint with edible paint! This is such a great way to decorate cookies! I LOVE IT! I do wish I knew a little more about painting with Water color though since this is essentially the same. I guess it's all in how you look at a piece of art. Right? I'm not great at painting nor drawing but I DID find some great techniques that I use and work great! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">A couple of weeks ago I decided to try this wonderful concept and my first creation was this really cute little chevron doggy and heart. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now bear in mind that I'm not a "Van Gogh". I decided that it didn't seem so hard and grabbed another cookie or two... This one I drew by hand using my imagination. As you can see it didn't dry very well. I thought about it and consulted with <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=arty%20mcgoo&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fartymcgoo.blogspot.com%2F&ei=wuvuUe3eOY2LrQGXjYD4Cg&usg=AFQjCNEMkOjZkSM5rIIY2CZJxTyGQy20HQ&sig2=_20heo-hWbNWFEUfU6VrVA&bvm=bv.49641647,d.aWM" target="_blank">Arty McGoo</a>, a wonderful Cookie Artist in her own rite, and she told me to try a few things!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My next few "painted" cookies turned out pretty good! I even decided to "dry" them by using cornstarch in a stocking. (Clean, OF COURSE!) I brushed it off using a clean, DRY dusting brush. It dried them enough to bag! The black didn't come off! I was relieved! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I painted another little critter and decided to put a cute border on it! This border is inspired by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMH_6fB_RF4&list=TL6-VamQwe82I" target="_blank">SweetAmbs</a>! Her <a href="http://www.sweetambs.com/" target="_blank">website</a> is absolutely amazing!! Now, you can't judge me on my Rope border making because I've only done it a few times. I even messed it up by painting the Gold on it. :( That's life. Sometimes you just mess up. </span></div>

I'm Back! <h2 style="text-align: center;">
And.... I'm back!! I just couldn't stay away for too long! I love to decorate these silly little pastries! I decided that I would share with you a couple of designs I just made the last few days. These will be going to my bestie for her big day. </h2>
<h2>
Here's how I did it: </h2>
<h2>
<ol>
<li>First, I used my <a href="http://www.michaels.com/Duff-Airbrush-Machine/bk0730,default,pd.html?start=62&cgid=products-bakeware-duffgoldman" target="_blank">air brush</a> using pink and then purple. </li>
<li>Then, I printed off some Cowgirl silhouettes from the internet and used my <a href="http://www.kopykake.com/arts-crafts-and-beauty/arts-crafts-and-beauty-projectors.html" target="_blank">KopyKake projector</a> to project the images and a thin little script brush (used only for cookies) to draw these awesome designs onto the cookies! </li>
<li>Finally, I used my filbert brush (also only used for cookies) to fill in the silhouettes. </li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They turned out so adorable! </div>
</h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
I later decided to do some cute little sea turtles using the same brushes and technique. I love the colors that I used for these little guys! The kids LOVED these and sadly they were devoured with in a few minutes. The kids faces were totally colored from them. </h2>

As I wrap up my last couple of cookie projects up to begin my vacation, I am sad to say "no" to anyone who wants cookies. <br />
<br />
I decided a couple of weeks ago to finish up any cookie obligations and take a long break from cookie decorating to Pursue my career in Ambit Energy. I want to help change lives in this very bleak economy This new journey will not be without hardship but I will be persistent and I will grow myself as well as my organization. It's a wonderful thing to know that the hard work I do today will continue to pay me and my family for as long as we own the business. I believe in Ambit and I know that we will be successful in helping our friends and family save and make money. No other company tells you to put God first, family second and Ambit 3rd. That in itself means so much to me. <br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures to leave you with today...<br />

I ended up with 6 students and that was just fine! We had a blast! I showed them how to flood cookies so that they look smooth, feathering, and some neat tricks to get images on cookies without being an artist.<br />
<br />
They all said they just wanted to impress their grand kids. I thought that was sweet! They very much enjoyed watching me demonstrate these things and I'd love to share some of their creations but, sadly, I didn't get pictures of them. <br />
<br />
My next class will be on April 13th! I'm going to be showing how I bake these cookies to absolute perfection and create smooth and enticing cookies. <br />
<br />
I've been busy the last few days and I'd love to share a couple of sets I made for a few friends.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As you can see from the photo, we have several screens to help maximize the viewing area of my tiny little cookies. Each student will be provided with a work space and a mixer to use. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm going to be baking tons of cookies for this class so I hope you have your cookie decorating hat on and are ready for some fun! This is only some of what I will be bringing! I'll be providing the icing as well so you guys will not have to bring a thing to class in order to make this class awesome! You will get to take home your projects so you will need a cookie sheet with edges on it so that they don't try to slide off in transport! </span><br />

I actually appeared on the front page and inside! It made my whole day!! I plan on making this the best year yet for Cookie Mama's. Here is the front page and a copy of my ad! Rich at the Waco Tribune Herald took an amazing Shot and really caught the feel of what it's like to decorate. It was hard to smile while concentrating but I figured it out real quick. I believe I might be making the newspaper a once a year thing! There might actually be some more advertising opportunities coming up soon. <br />
<br />
I want to remind everyone that in a couple of weeks my class will be held at the TSTC Waco Culinary department. The classes are $50 each and I'd love to see you at each one! They get progressively more advanced. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6C-ijQkOqRs/US4JJzteWsI/AAAAAAAABFU/c7i5AKxfkKk/s640/blogger-image--1405492460.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6C-ijQkOqRs/US4JJzteWsI/AAAAAAAABFU/c7i5AKxfkKk/s640/blogger-image--1405492460.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tD8nf1-flMI/US4JL2CpYkI/AAAAAAAABFc/zYzpZiRfQxA/s640/blogger-image-1814107474.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tD8nf1-flMI/US4JL2CpYkI/AAAAAAAABFc/zYzpZiRfQxA/s640/blogger-image-1814107474.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8esdJ244zAQ/US4JHy68pwI/AAAAAAAABFM/_DnEIb5KJR4/s640/blogger-image--599099829.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8esdJ244zAQ/US4JHy68pwI/AAAAAAAABFM/_DnEIb5KJR4/s640/blogger-image--599099829.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15208533016544060872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565384770876285699.post-74246887938619093432013-02-05T21:20:00.000-06:002013-02-05T21:20:00.669-06:00My Sparkle...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This week will be one of my craziest and probably my most fondly remembered weeks. I was asked by an affiliate of the local newspaper if I wanted to purchase an advertising slot for a Feature on Local Business Women that the <a href="http://www.wacotrib.com/" target="_blank">Waco Tribune-Herald</a> is putting together. The feature will be showcased in the February 17, 2013 edition of the paper! So make sure you check it out!! In case you were wondering if this happens often, it doesn't. Not for me anyway. I was so excited that I emailed the lady back immediately and had her reserve me a spot! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wFzj2fXdeU8/URHEClZayzI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/-3YhcPxrK-o/s1600/59737_10151290066498435_266438193_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wFzj2fXdeU8/URHEClZayzI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/-3YhcPxrK-o/s400/59737_10151290066498435_266438193_n.jpg" width="300" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I gave the lady a call today and we discussed all the little things that are really BIG things and came up with a plan. We are meeting here tomorrow for them to come and take photos of me while I am decorating Valentine's Day Cookies! How sweet is that?!?! I tell you what I am just about the happiest girl in the world right now! I called my friend and new Lab Assistant at <a href="http://www.waco.tstc.edu/programs/waco/culinary-healthscience/culinarydining" target="_blank">TSTC Waco</a> Culinary Department and asked her if I could please borrow a Chef Coat for my pictures in the morning. This is what we came up with. I think I look pretty good! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have you ever been nervous about people coming to your house? Oh, what am I thinking? Of course you have! Who hasn't? Well, for me I guess I get a little stressed. I want everything pristine but I know that is not possible with 3 kids, a dog and a Hubby to clean up behind. The house having a little "lived in" look doesn't make us look bad, does it? I am feeling so inspired and happy. It has been a great ride and I plan on decorating cookies for years to come! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;">Well my little blog isn't as popular as some I've read but hey, I'm just starting it. I didn't know I would be interested in writing about what I do. I mean, honestly, I'm not sure I even sound coherent half of the time when I'm writing. There isn't much else to say except here is the flyer for my cookie classes that will be starting on March 9th! Register at <a href="http://www.waco.tstc.edu/continuinged/ce_classes" target="_blank">TSTC WACO</a>! I hope to see you there! (FYI: If the link doesn't show my class give it a day or two and it will be up and working.)</span></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A few days ago I
was asked to make a pink camo cake. I have not had the opportunity to make a
camo cake and so I was unsure how it would turn out. I agreed to do it hoping
for the best. I started out with light pink fondant, gray fondant, and white
fondant. I put pieces in to the white and hoped for the best. It did NOT do
what I thought it would. So it came out MARBLED. I will be practicing this
technique on fondant using my airbrush soon. I'm so upset that it did not turn
out the way I hoped. Here is a picture of my finished cake. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: x-large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A lot of thought goes in to making a man happy! You have to really think about what it is that they like and don't like. My best friend called on me to help make her COWBOY happy! This was going to be a challenge since I know how she is (a whole lot of sarcastic in a teeny tiny body) and I know how he is (ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL). Well I figured since I know them pretty well this should be fun!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She says, "Jaime, I need a cookie bouquet for B. His birthday is in a few days and You know how he loves your cookies." I was happy to help so I asked her what ideas she had. She started out with guns. He has been buying guns left and right for a few months now and she thought that would be meaningful and cool. I thought about it and I told her to think harder. I said ask yourself, "What is he into (other than guns)? What sports does he love? What types of things is he into when he isn't with you?" She said, "When he isn't with me I can pretty much name the only 5 things that are on his mind. Football, Golf, Guns, Trash (He helps run a family owned Refuse Business), and ME!" </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I got to thinking. Super Bowl is coming up and his birthday is the week of so I think Football themed cookies would be a blast to make! His all time favorite team? You guessed it! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Of the dough came six magical football themed cookies! Yes only 6! Now as you may have learned my friend, Amy, is a ball of sarcasm. I<b> had</b> to make one cookie with <b>her </b>team colors (Washington Redskins) on them. I added "I love you" to lessen the hateful blow that was sure to come from the crumbs of this bouquet. </span></div>
