Cake adventure continue

Hello! Im here again! This cake adventure will be fun...I promise!
If you want to start, it it very important to know you are ready for to try with a small cake.
You allready have a pan about 10 or 12 inches, round or square. I prefer rounds...looks so nice and they are not the comun rectangle chip store cake.But anyway depends what design do you want to made. For this size, one Dunkan Hines box will be fine. Lets try this dough first becouse is moist but not to moist like others brands. And you will not need an ultra moist dough. It can be a really terrible for to made the decorations and frosting on it.
If you would like a homemade dough I will give you a good recipe,but lets try this first.
You think this in not to difficult...it is not. But if you want a good taste cake and a good taste frosting, will be a GOOD challenge.
You have to bake the cake...but WARNING* Do not set the oven at 350. just few minuts before your dough is ready to go in the oven set your oven on 300, that will be so good for to bake a cake without a big hill in the middle! Let to bake for about 50 minutes. do not open the oven! after you have he cake ready, wait about 10 minutes to let the cake be warm, now you can shake the pan softly and try to put the cake in some sheet to let it "rest".
Wait one day for to make the decoration, just save the cake in clear plastic wrap on the counter top...
see you soon!

Cake adventure is coming!

Hello everyone!
today I'm so happy to be here again, just I want to start with this cake adventure...becouse I know for many of us this is a very important part of our family celebration, and we do not want to spend lots of dollars in a cake.
I want to start with the dough first. But before you have to be sure to have a good pan, some of these can be used, try in garage sales; if it is old; it still much better!
Just pick the shape of the pan you want, round, square, oval...some special character...etc.
When you have the pan, you can pick the plate, the base for the cake, it can be ceramic plate, glass or heavy duty cardboard plate(you can buy it at walmart or party city)
After that you will need the things for the dough cake...
I'm coming later for let you know the quantities and it will depend on the sizes of the pans...
Be ready for have fun with this cake adventure!!!
and send me comments or questions...all be here for help you anytime!
Thanks Monica

designing when the kids are at home!

It is no easy to do, specially if you are a busy busy mom. But the kiddos always bring some inspiration to me.
Today I was working hard, but finally I have some new design for my shop!! I did it! a new Tie Onesie, but this tie is not a simple printed cotton tie...starting little stitches ...then a Cute Monster came out, and then a robot!!!well can be not the most wonderful thing...but it is for me now, hahaha!
So when you do not have any inspiration, just look around! We have many many things to look and have something positive from there.
Note: Check the blog often, I promise to give you good secrets for made cakes like a professional...coming soon :)

Happy happy birthday! was my birthday. The most beautiful and precious gift is my family. We love to be all together for celebrate anything!! so my birthday was a good reason to do it.
We went to the park and we did a pic-nic with some hamburgers and a delicious cake made it by Jahdo (my little son) and grandma(my mom).I love the gifts (a dinner giftcard and a handmade necklace) very lovely things from a very lovely family.
I can't ask anything else. I'm blessed.

little and big part of me

This little and big part of me (my talents)...makes me feel so good. It is the way to express my self.
Many friends and people who knows what kind of handmade things I make said "why you don't sale that?". I made things for everybody who needs something I can do...becouse I love to help too. Im not working out of my home, Im stay home with my children and it is good idea make some extra $ to help support my big family..."So sale something, you have a computer and talent to made things!!"somebody said to me. But I couldn't find the perfect site and that was hard for me. Some friend introduced me Etsy, and I was thinking my dreams begin to come true...:)
Now Im making very good organics , Im enjoying every step!
I hope you like my blog, and my things.
