No, italian buttercream won't hold those shapes. I use it everyday at my job. It looks like a meringue. Too white for it to have butter in it.

It is funny that so many choose the fedora/trilby because fedoras were originally worn by feminists when it first became popular.

Oh yeah. Our busy season runs from around May until the end of October. Wedding season. There are a few flare ups at other times of the year (Valentines) but during the busy season we will often have 4 to 6 weddings in a single weekend, so that can mean a lot of prep and the making of decorations.

I am a baker and cake decorator. I have noticed is that people don't understand how long it takes to make things.

If I could give you all of the stars, I would.

I would cook rabbit and goose if I thought people would eat them, but I don't think my boyfriend would be up to eating a rabbit and goose is so big.

When I was a kid, my mom decided we should get a pet pig. We lived on an acreage so that wasn't a problem. We had chickens already. So we found a farmer who was selling young pigs and went to go get one. He said they were pure bred vietnamese pot belly pigs. They were not pure bred vietnamese pot belly pigs. When…

Duck is delicious. I only bought a whole duck once though. Carving it after I cooked it was such a pain that I only buy breasts and legs now.

Berkshire pork is amazing. There is a farm near where I live that has them. The tenderloin can be cut with a fork. So good.

Love that book. Discworld FTW!

Ouija boards are silly. I've known some people who take them way too seriously. It's cardboard and plastic. It is not supernatural or evil. It is just the idiomotor effect or an older sibling that makes messages. The worst thing that can happen is a bunch of kids can scare themselves silly after too much pop and candy…

Yeah. A couple very good friends are furries. I don't understand all the hatred. It is mostly just that they are awkward people who feel more comfortable in a costume.

My step monster thinks that chlorophyll is a nutrient. I shit you not.

I like my wooden rolling pin. It's solid sugar maple and was made by a very dear friend of the family. He would make them extra thick so it has a good weight and so you won't hit your knuckles which every store bought rolling pin I have found does not account for. I hate the handle free versions and don't get me…

I went there last year! So good!

I decided to imitate my dad when I was wee. He liked to stab the point of a knife into the butcher block when he was done using it as a joke. This was just after I was allowed to use knives for the first time. I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted a snack. So I grabbed a knife to cut it into little rounds…

We had a sadistic orange rooster named Birdzilla. He'd chase all the kids and spurred me in the back of the leg. My mom had to beat the shit out of him with a broom whenever she wanted to collect eggs or clean the coop just so he would leave her alone for a few minutes. He eventually met his end when he went after the…

Mort is my favourite and the whole Witches series is wonderful.

They stand up so well to multiple reads. I get different things from them now than I did when I was in high school. There are jokes I never used to understand but now I learned of the references.

Mort is a good book to start. This is where I feel that Sir Terry really found his voice. I'd actually recommend reading the earlier three later after you have read some of the other Discworld tales. Guards Guards is another good one to start at, as is Wyrd Sisters. There are some series that continue through the…
