I rememberd today why I do not buy fonandt in Eau Claire. Its only the chinzey, but costly stuff by wilton that tastes like playdough. I broke down and bought a small 1.1lb box for nearly $12 because I cannot get MMF black no matter how much coloring paste I use. Not to mention the mess of black food coloring paste all over my kitchen. I am making a J.Johnson cake for the Daytona 500 dinner on Sunday and I just need black for the track. I will make my own for the blue, yellow and white. Even blue can be hard to tint the proper blue beyond a pastel shade. I love caking but it has been quite a while since I did one, months. I am feeling inspired, I did several years ago do this one for my husband's 30th birthday but I couldn't find the refill kit for the decals. My Andy boy is going to help out though, by making the model for me, he is really very good at it. Maybe he will like to decorate cakes someday, he does enjoy making candy melts in the wilton molds. I have been teaching him to cook for nearly a year and is able to make simple meals with only supervision so he doesn't burn down the house or loose a digit. My Bear likes to cook too, but at only 6 she needs a lot of help, see last weekend's 'holiday' sauce accident. back to work for me, my 15 min of freedom are over for now.
