A Celebrating Weekend....Post Views...18, 378

AKA..This is how you decorate a fancy cake......
Between 11PM and 1AM Friday night...
(by Stephanie)
I always wondered about that.....

       
Ya take a cake and a "cake saw"; run it through to level off the top....
Peel away the extra.....

 
Make a border of squiggly frosting....fill in yummy seedless raspberry jelly.... 


Flop another leveled cake on top.....seal them together with more squiggly frosting....

Surround the entire cake with a layer of pressed frosting....
more frosting and squiggles on top.....



Decorate....
        
                   WAH..LA......!


And off to Mary's high school graduation party at 10 AM Sat. for decorating....








Jarosinski Clan.....
(small portion.....)

Mary, Stephanie, Daddy Ray,
Katie and young Ray.....







    We all had a great time until evening when it was time to go home from downtown Indianapolis.  A storm had blown in....
Kate and I were driving home along back roads when we saw a bridge down the hill was flooded.  She turned around through one way streets floating in water.  At one point we turned into a dead end road then decided not to drive through a flooded alley.  We found our way to higher ground and onto home but not before experiencing some strong winds.  The next day Kate read that a tornado touched down in an area close to us.    My only regret....I didn't get any pictures.   Oh My.....
