Well...  I am still a total loser.  I did some stretching (thank you Rachel! :o)  )  Tuesday was super busy with church meetings, and I didn't get home until super late.  Last night was busy with more church stuff and baking.  I know this isn't the "Fastbaking Blog"; however, I have yet another cake picture.  I made this cake last night as a going away gift to a friend and co-worker who thinks she is allowed to move to Washington. :o(

I was also attempting at baking the cakes for Melanie's first birthday (I'm having a little party for her on Saturday).  It was a disaster.  I measured the batter exactly as the cake pan said, and somehow it over topped... burning on the bottom of the oven and ruining both that cake and the other cake that was in the oven.  I will have to attempt it again tonight so that I can decorate the cakes tomorrow.  Don't worry...  I will post pictures (not that you were worried.  I'm sure all of you are sick of seeing my cakes on here).

I hope everyong is having a great Thursday!

Are you kidding Camille..?? If you want to start up a baking blog, I'll be right there with you!

That cake is beautiful!

Losers are people who have nothing to do and do nothing. That is NOT the case for you. You have a life, and that is very non-loser of you :)

Oh happy birthday to Melanie! I can't wait to see the cake you make for her--I'm sure it will be precious. I wish I was that creative...

From Camille on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 12:30:21

You both are so sweet! I couldn't start a "fast"baking blog though... because it turns out that baking in a hurry is NEVER a good idea. LOL

Rachel - Thank you. As you can tell, I like to call myself a loser a lot. I just feel so guilty for not doing any sort of exercizing this last month. I'm afraid I'll get in a rut and not start up again. I need to get well. Being sick bites!

April - Thank you! Melanie's birthday is Monday. I can't believe my baby is a whole year old. I will definitely post a birthday cake picture (and an after picture of Melanie)

Being sick DOES bite, I totally agree. And when it passes it's tough to get back into the swing of things (no matter how easy Marion makes it look!) I try not to obsess over the progress I'm afraid I've lost. Eating right and getting good sleep and stretching are part of staying fit, and you can do them when you don't feel well.

I can't wait to see Malanie's cake and birthday pictures!!

It is amazing how fast they grow up(and sort of sad but happy too all at the same time)

From Burt on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 16:13:10

I can personally testify that the cake was yummy!

You're quite the artist, Camille.
