So yes this happen I was getting everything together and I dropped my powered sugar jar and it went everywhere. To top that off I got a chewing out by a two year old for my mess I made. Cash came in there looked down at it and said "what did u do !!" It was the cutest thing he wasn't happy with me. It took me forever to clean it up because I couldn't stop laughing. 

I used a whole package of fondant and colored it with my teal gel food coloring.
Wilton makes what they call a ribbon cutter which is a life saver when you want the perfect line and you need more than one it comes with a bunch of different sizes so it was great to do the lines foe this cake.
To make my cake look weathered and like it had been used I took a big fluffy brush and dusted it with cocoa powdered and the lines I did with editable makers.

I didn't become a fan of the show until the third season was coming on and I discovered it because they were have a marathon and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Well lets just say after a couple of episodes I was hooked and loved it and since then haven't missed an episode. So when the season premiere came on last year and Negan was to be revealed I made my first Walking Dead cake which has been my biggest hit on youtube so far which deserves it own post because its an awesome cake.

I couldn't believe I got him to set still for more than one second and got this great picture of him he loves to be in the kitchen with me and wants to help. I have let him help me ice a cake and small stuff like that and he loves it. The start of cornbread dressing this is a must at Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house. Sweet Potato Casserole Of course my only dessert Pecan Pie which is a much bigger deal if you  know how I am about my cakes but we wouldn't have eaten them with just us, maybe a slice or two but the rest would have gone to waste.
