Rare John&LaLa Posted March 24, 2020 Author #1726 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Cheeseburger in Paradise Since Laura had been to class twice, she thought Pat should go with me. Truthfully I wanted to do either the sushi class or guacamole, but sadly we never got around to it. My crew was boring, should have gone solo to those We had Maricel again and it was a lot of fun. We used some different techniques This one needs 3 cupcakes, some fondant, red and yellow icing, and some more lime candies slice the cakes into thirds, discard the chocolate bottom and save the vanilla bottom for your fries I would have used both muffin tops for the bun, but that's just me BTW, you should also trim the top off the chocolate cake so it's level Dress bottom bun with red icing place first patty on add yellow icing add cheese (fondant) more red icing second patty and more yellow icing then add the lettuce (green fondant) There is a technique where you crinkle it by gently pressing lines into it, but I forgot to take a picture place muffin top on, then affix the lime candies (pickles) with long toothpicks to hold it together Cut the remaining cake into strips and add remaining icing for your cheesy fries I think this one is Pat's Other than not having easy access to fondant, this one was really easy Bon apetit 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted March 24, 2020 #1730 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Was the private cupcake class a STAR benefit, or did you just happen to be the only people who signed up? Nice bonus if it's a STAR thing with no added cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted yesterday when I picked up some food from them. Ahh...forgot about that. We have always gone to "Margarita Monday" at our favorite Mexican restaurant, but sadly did not go yesterday. Guess we could have done "take out" as well. 😉 But we mostly go to see our favorite waiter, just wouldn't be the same. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted March 24, 2020 #1737 Share Posted March 24, 2020 John, your cake decorating skills are amazing! I can say without a doubt that my $35 would have resulted in an unrecognizable frosted heap. And I would have been sick from tasting the frosting. I hope you have lots more photos to share. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Freedom, was that really just a week or so ago?, I would sit out there while John caught up on work. So nice! FWIW, we were asked by our hair stylist to postpone our appointments for 2 weeks as we had been “out of the country.” San Juan, St. Thomas and the ABC Islands. The groomer agreed to take Jana but met us in the parking lot with a leash, didn’t want her to be wearing her own. I passed Jana through the window and they took her straight to the tub. I do understand the groomer because she has lung issues already and can’t take any chances. But it is a weird feeling. Sadly indeed...the world has changed. Sigh... 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are many months away if we do. The challenge is almost all condos down here work under a First Right of Refusal rule. The other owners can assume any contract. 3 bedroom SE corners almost never go to an outsider. And ours is really cool.😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
