This is something I've been really interested in lately. I've watched it on the food network a couple times- and I used to make watermelon baskets with my mom all the time growing up but these are so intricate and just beautiful pieces of art. There are a couple of sites on the web that have tutorials I've been watching the past couple days fun eh! I thought the tomatoe roses were doable :) http://www.simply-thai.com/Thai-Market_Introduction_to_Fruit_Carving_Tomato_Rose.htm

happy baking..

I love love love to bake and make pastry's. I like to cook but not as much as I love to bake. It's usually my sunday thing to do- make a desert and give it to someone. Today I made valentine cupcakes dipped in coconut powdered sugr sugar crystals and sprinkles- frosting is buttercream in 3 colors and the cake is french vanilla. Theres nothing that I think is funner than decorating cupcakkes and cookies- in fact I was too excited to do it I didnt let them cool properly thats why they are a little melty- but mmm it makes them look tasty. I do love to cook with themes too. We're going to Nielsens for dinner tonight I'm super excited for nummy food. and cupcakes :) oH AND THERE DOING A WHOLE WEEK ON CUPCAKES WITH MARTHA STEWARTS SHOW! How exciting- so tune into that- also if you want an awesome cupcake blog to read add cupcakes take the cake to your reader- it makes me happy every day.
