I never even knew about fondant until your wedding cake and certainly didn't know it was something we could do at home! <BR/>i seriously LOVE how you aim for perfection in all things then rest in His Best once He leads you there. (and I was seriously bummed that we left the cake at Merilee's...really almost stashed a piece in the diaper bag) :) love your heart, mommainthemiddleoflifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215044096516755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-57526259115466448812009-03-25T20:19:00.000-07:002009-03-25T20:19:00.000-07:00amen. i do know exactly what you mean about trying...amen. i do know exactly what you mean about trying to be the best... ugh. i love you and appreciate your wisdom always and honestykallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206553670483923549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-6126995927579170192009-03-25T19:10:00.000-07:002009-03-25T19:10:00.000-07:00my favorite blog in a long time. thanks for writin...my favorite blog in a long time. thanks for writing it.kellycowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237084598908895905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-35953174189255683972009-03-25T15:52:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:52:00.000-07:00i look up to you (even if i shouldn't).and the cak...i look up to you (even if i shouldn't).<BR/><BR/>and the cake looks great.<BR/><BR/><BR/>BIG LOVE.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951792464803370222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-70221657496017179632009-03-25T11:39:00.000-07:002009-03-25T11:39:00.000-07:00Incredible Blog Jessi!

Ever! <BR/><BR/>And, the girls I live with asked what professional bakery made the cake. And they actually ate the whole thing. And there were only 2 of them. They thought it was beautiful and were shocked at the goodness of the fondant! Delightful! <BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, I need to change all the same things.mares-e-doteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694892908954232874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-8130384577781154622009-03-24T21:52:00.000-07:002009-03-24T21:52:00.000-07:00Amen Mama!Amen Mama!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011288182104910349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-42581442643732303652009-03-24T21:42:00.000-07:002009-03-24T21:42:00.000-07:00when i was in 7th grade, i came home one day and t...when i was in 7th grade, i came home one day and told my mom, "no matter how hard i work and try at school, tricia pearson always does better than me." what she said completely floored me. "sweetie, no matter where you go or what you do in life, there will probably always be a tricia pearson there who is a bit better at it. what matters is what God thinks and sees." maybe that's not what a mom is supposed to say. but it was just what i needed to hear. and i've never forgotten it.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853794417748377738noreply@blogger.com
