I have always liked hats, but who knew I had so many that I can wear to work? I've been trying not to wear hats so often, but it is good to know I have plenty of options.

So good news, I figured out how to put pictures up, and center them, now if I could figure out how to type before the pictures, I would be estatic, and I could make the blog look like I want . More good news: In our manager meeting today, I was asked by our store manager to make some more "cheeseburger" cupcakes for our bakesale this week. So I will be up late Thursday making a few dozen cupcakes.

I had last Thursday off, and I decided to try and make my own tuxedo cake. I had this vision of making individual portions, almost like an appitizer size. I went searching for the perfect size of countainer I could use for a mold. Walking around Walmart, I came up with this idea of using a can of some sort. I ended up buying some tomato paste, opening both ends and using that as my mold. I was pretty happy with myelf. ( Now we have a container of tomato paste to use) I made a german chocolate cake using a jelly roll cake pan. Made instant chocolate mousse, no bake cheesecake, and chocolate ganache with sugar free chocolate chips. I then layered everything into my "molds." Refridgerated for an hour and half and pushed them out. I truely believe with a little tweeking, they will be a winning desert.

Also, mom wanted me to make chicken-spinach stramboli for dinner, so I took pictures of that as well. It is really yummy, and so easy to make.
