The Wonderland Board

I FINALLY completed the dreaded Treadmill
That one won't be making my top 10 picks.

Laura n.

aw what a shame. Was hard, hummm have not been there yet, still in the clouds.

Haven't even started the clouds yet, that will be my last. I'm probably not going in the correct order, but who cares.
The Treadmill is all about timing .. I REALLY DISLIKE any level that involves timing, my old fingers don't move fast enough.

Anyway, that's my story & I'm stickin to it.
Laura n.

I guess they moved quick enough since you finished the Treadmill.

Bernadette

Yes, quick enough, after I "limbered" them up blowing up poor Qookie about 500 times

I haven't seen her today, I think she ran away.

Laura n.

She's probaqbly sleeping. Being blown up 500 times is exhausting, you know?



Bernadette

being blown up wow, first its the chicken poxs then the electric floors,

I would say she is resting some were you can't find her.

It's a lot of fun at your house.

Hows the poxy girl getting better i hope for her party.

Emily is getting much better, I believe we'll be able to go watch fire works tomarrow night. I asked Emily where Qookies' been and she told me Qookie is at home because she's got REALLY REALLY BIG chicken spots. poor Qookie

We bought a trampoline for Emily today, now we just have to figure out how to get is set up without her seeing it.
We'll have her party next weekend. I sure hope Qookie feels better by then I'd hate for her to miss the party. I think I'm going to try and figure out how to make a Qookie cake, (after all that's what I do for a living. )
Could you even imagine... hmmm ... shouldn't be that hard, I think I'll give it a go.

Laura n.

Glad to hear Emily is feeling better.

A Qookie cake sounds good! Take a pic for us!

Good ! glad to hear she is doing better.
Yes take a picture of the cake and Emily.

I most certainly will, you all don't know me .. but, I do like the opportunity to show off, my daughter and my skills

Thanks for your concern reguarding Emilys health I appreciate it.

Laura n.

I'm so glad Emily's feeling better. Poor Qookie, she must have forgotten to get her vaccine.
I think the Qookie cake idea is great! Can't wait to see pics of it and Emily.
I used to make cakes for my children's birthday parties. Once my son had a space themed party. I made a sheet cake and put the solar system on it. The biggest problem I had was coming up with black icing for the background! Another time he had a pirate party. I made a cake shaped like a pirate ship. It was upright and sailing in a sea of blue icing. I think those were the two most difficult cakes I ever made. My daughter's cakes were easy by comparison. Have you made unusual cakes, too? I bet you have some stories!

I work for a commercial bakery 3 days a week, most people are very easy to please and as Emily puts I have have the best job. " I get to make birthday cake so people can have parties and everyone's happy". . out of the mouth of babes .....
Wedding Cakes are the most difficult for me, as they require the most detail, & attention and believe it or not I'm a perfectionist.... go figure.
But the story that stands out the most to me is a lady that ordered a Sponge Bob cake for her son's b-day as soon as she saw it she started yelling at me & cussing me out, I was a complete idiot and have ruined this cake because........
EVERYONE knows sponge bob is ORANGE

We all still laugh about that one, poor kid having a orange sponge bob cake

Laura n.

You people are so talented. I couldn't make a nice cake if my life depended on it.

My son's 11th birthday is in a week and I guess I'll be making a trip to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream cake!

As I said in my pm Mette - "Good Luck" and we look forward to hearing all about it on your return

Mette and DKGIZ are coming to stay with me in London before the convention in NI - I've just had a horrible thought - she'll be able to see dust I'd better get my Kirkby out (or whatever you nutters call it)

Hey, I know what a Kirby is but I don't believe I've ever been called a
"nutter" before in fact I'm quite certain it's not part of this english language ... it must be a "Brit thing"

Oh, BTW hubby ran the Kirby yesterday I didn't think he knew where I kept it.

Laura n.

PS. Andrea, I LOVE Baskin Robins Ice Cream cakes.

Nutters = silly, funny people, in fact most Wonderlanders are nutters

I call my Kirkby a Noo-Noo! Sounds a bit strange when I say "I'm getting my Noo-Noo out"

Just realised I posted this in the wrong place - sorry Mette - should have been in your thread

Me too! They're my favorite. I keep telling my son they're his favorite too so I can buy one every year.

Yes B&R are great but the DQ are super too,
with the brownie in the middle.

I love the ice cream cakes too. Unfortunately, one year I got one and had it decorated especially for my daughter's and nephew's birthdays (they are a day apart and they are my Mom's youngest and oldest grandchildren). We were trying to let it thaw enough to cut and had left it sitting on the stove. My other nephew decided it wasn't thawing quickly enough and turned on the stove. We had ice cream soup for their birthday and they loved itl!
I can't believe that woman thought Sponge Bob was orange. Guess she's never watched the show or heard the lyrics. Poor kid!
I can believe wedding cakes are difficult. I don't think I would want to even try it.

Ice Cream soup ??? Yummmyyyyy

Laura n.

It was good! Unfortunately, the special decoration I had paid for wasn't seen by my daughter and nephew before it melted!
