From One Chick to Another..

Where under His Wings I find refuge.

Waiting for winter to end.

, , , , ,

We woke up to another brutally cold day.
It was minus 42 degrees celcius this morning..with the wind chill factored in! :eyes: :cry:
The wind blew so hard last night, it felt as if the walls would blow in.

Tomorrow my son's Gr. 8 class is throwing a surprise baby shower for their teacher. She is beginning her maternity leave after school on Friday.
I offered to make the cake. I thought I would venture out and do something different.
This is an old fashionned wash tub (double layer banana cake-from scratch) with a baby, made out of marshmallow fondant,..I needed more cake so I made an 12 x 18 marble slab for the base.
I would probably charge around $100.00 for a cake like this if I was to do it for a customer. It took a long time to put it together..and create the decorations. I did the fondant decorations yesterday so they could dry properly. :smile: But, I enjoyed it thoroughly! :up:



This morning, I noticed quite a kafuffal at the suet feeder, so I started snapping shots...and was thrilled to see this... (notice the bird in flight to the left...and the bird with his tongue out...just as if he is giving his buddies a lecture! p: )

Have a great week everyone! :heart:

After the snow storm..It's Finally Mine!!

No, that is horrible: -42°C ????
Poor Cheryl. The best, what you can do: to bake some cakes, bake a lot of cakes! :idea:
Because, that will give you warmer temperatures in your kitchen. :lol:
Now for serious: I hope, spring will came soon in your region :heart:

I pray for the warmer weather...it should be here by the week-end. Poor animals are all cooped up in the barn. :heart:
