HA HA!Thanks for all of the 'Alice' pictures. Those are REALLY cute ideas & its so much easier for me to understand when I can see it. I figured out the trick with old tshirts for paper mache one year when I made a Mardi Gras tree for a friends adult party & needed it really sturdy to withstand some of the rowdier guests. I used chicken wire, old tshirts soaked in flour/water & did the outside in brown bags (like 3goodeggs mentioned) & liquid starch because it dries clear. That tree survived for months on my friends patio. Sorry NorthFLChick I didn't intentionally hijack your baking page into a craft page... To get back on topic, I also make a Kings Cake for the party. It was delicious, but was the hardest I've ever worked for a cake -- It felt like I was up all night babying it.
Baking doesn't have to be hard...you can do it! Or if you just want to come talk and drool at the pictures along with the rest of us, that's good too!
