No More Desserts!!

No, seriously I need to lay off the baking and do some firing instead! (pardon the messy photo) What you see above is the last chunk of "Heaven and Hell" cake...aka "Cake of Doom"...aka Hubster's Birthday Cake! Alternating layers of Devil's Food cake (with a little coffee in the dark chocolate batter) and Angel Food cake sandwiched together with peanut butter mousse and the whole thing was coated with chocolate ganache! Do you see how thick that ganache coating is? I actually had to analyze who I chose to share the extra slices with...I was afraid I might kill someone!Janet of Pink Poppy Studio shared some of her earring photos with me...to share with you! Aren't they gorgeous? And beyond that...the photography...isn't this a spectacular example of great lighting and backdrops that don't overwhelm the jewelry? Continuing on my jewelry designer love fest, Dana of Colors of the Woods used an Ocean Sari pendant in her yummy nummy cool shades necklace. For those of you in the toasty heat, doesn't this make you feel cooler? On to the other things that I've been doing instead of playing in clay... My parents came to visit for the week so hubster was able to get us hooked up with Disney tickets. We hit both parks which was great since I've only been to California Adventure once... I'll spare you my photo with Sully from Monsters Inc...although I will tell you that he was verrrrry tall and furry! Last but not least, we also made it to the zoo. If you've never been, the San Diego Zoo is truly spectacular. I leave you with...a furry polar bear butt :)
