Last night we visited the book fair at my daughter's school. I can't help but love going to the book fair, myself--remembering the excitement from my own book fairs when I was little, the anticipation of getting a new book, the many hours of tremendous pleasure I got from reading (and still do!). Browsing those shelves was like going on a memory trip to a thousand different worlds. Island of the Blue Dolphins! The Cay!
I absolutely love Thai food. LOVE it. Especially yellow curry with chicken. But we're cutting back on eating out, trying to save money and eat a healthy diet. It was out of necessity, and an intense craving for a Thai fix, that I figured out this low calorie, insanely easy, incredibly delicious method for making yellow curry chicken at home. In my crock pot.
As soon as I came up with the concept of the A is for Addalyn birthday brunch, I knew I wanted to use alphabet blocks in the design. Pretty quickly, I came up with the idea of using stacked alphabet blocks as risers for a DIY tiered cake stand.
Last week, I showed you how I made a BIG gumpaste peony without using a special peony cutter. Today, I'm showing you how to make incredibly eensy weensie tiny miniature gumpaste peonies.
