Alyson Frederick made me cry

Thanks, Al, for your sweet comment.

My sister told me I was a pile of wonderful things, but then reminded me that even if I weren't all those things, I'm loved by a Savior who gave His life for me.  That IS incredible!
That makes a lounging, molted unicorn seem rather trivial. :)

Also, don't worry.  I wouldn't care if my unicorn looked like a bear.  I would still put it on the cake and let Nathan's mom (who is a cake magician) see it.  I've made some hideous cakes in the past, but I'll still present them to the fam.  My 3-yd-old will love it because it will be purple with glittery sugar all over it.  And if I say, "It's a unicorn!"  She'll say, "It is?!  I love unicorns!" And hug me.  :)

I have made too many desserts recently.  This weather pushes my baking buttons.
I made some devils food whoopie pies with orange marshmallow cream.  I do love to marry the orange-chocolate flavors, but marshmallow isn't my fav.  Those were just okay.
I then made some ginger snaps that I needed for a crust.  Of course, I only needed about 7 of them for the crust.  So I ate the other 32 of them with my tea in 2 days.  MUCH better than the ol' $5 box of them.
Then I used my ginger snap crust to make a pumpkin cheesecake.  I just became a fan of cheesecake recently.
I made a brownie swirl cheesecake for Nathan's parent's birthdays and put raspberries on it.  One of my tongue's favorites.
I made some chocolate chip pumpkin cookies with cream cheese icing.  The secret to making those magical is the same thing that made Paula Dean famous.  Put a little less cream cheese and a little more butter.  Seriously, I'd eat one and the butter would just start singing to me and I'd have to eat 3 more.

The butter started singing to me?  It's true.

So, after we eat our strawberry birthday cake with singing icing this evening, I will try to take it easy on the baking.
