I am getting lots of eggs. I will begin setting-incubating.

What are you going to be setting, secret project, Delawares, NH, Icelandics, all of the above?

Woke up to 1 wellie baby out and a pip in another egg.

Congrats Kelly! Reminds me to go to the basement and lock mine down. I finally got my Mardi Gras King Cake in the oven. I couldn't find a tiny plastic baby to put in the cake so I used a tiny plastic chicken and baby chick. I would probably be thrown out of Louisiana for that, but it is fine for northern CA! We don't have a party store close by for things like Mardi Gras babies!

Cake is done!




My cake got a little lopsided. I noticed most of the ones I have seen in photos do to. It is like rolling cinnamon rolls. The ones in the middle are always bigger! As soon as the cake cools I will glaze it and add the sanding sugar.

I am devoting the rest of my day to getting my first assignment done for my Food Photography class. It is due in two days! It involves shooting in natural light and that is hard to come by here with the wrap-around porch. May have to move it upstairs for the afternoon light.

The food photography class sounds interesting. Is the food chosen by you, or do they tell you to use a dessert, salad, entree, etc... ?

This week's assignment is just to work with light. We can us any subject we want as long as it is simple, like a piece of fruit. They don't give the assignments out in advance so I don't know what is next.

Pretty cake, but that's a heck of a lot of work!

Here's my cake I made yesterday - Almond Joy Cake. About as fattening as fattening can be and it's rich as heck! Pics are from my phone and I kinda squished it when I sliced it.

My kid is the kid in the red sweater with the red shoes.

Oh to be young again. I loved double dutch! I will admit that your son doing the back flip over asphalt made me hold my breath.
