HERE THEY COME...

First cruise ship of the year came this morning:

The good part is this means the stores in town will start

being open more hours now. The one and only craft-type

store we have has been closed all winter on Sunday and

Monday, so when I need ribbon and things it can get

frustrating that they are closed so much.

Well the weather is just as weird here as everywhere

else. One day it is warm and sunny, the next it drops

back down to 40 degrees. Yesterday it was warm

enough to stick my little dog out on the deck in

the sun and next thing I know he is crying out

there because he is getting hit by hail!

I have a very busy end of the week coming up

with a bit of a nerve-wracking twist to it. I am

making a 3 tiered wedding cake for one of

the outlying villages and I will be sending it

on a float plane to the wedding. Yes, I know,

it's madness. She also ordered 40 decorated

fish cookies for the groom and cupcakes.

She said it started off with them just going

to the justice of the peace to get married and

the word got out and now the entire town

is invited. Funny how that happens LOL

I have a plan in place to make the cake sturdy

enough to travel on the plane, I am just

hoping the weather is good so there isn't a

lot of bouncing around. The very last thing I

will do is pound a wooden dowel down through

the middle of the whole cake and that will

go down into the cake board and hold the

layers in place.

I'll be sure to post pictures of the process.

Now off to the kitchen for the day...
