Charm City Kitty

As some of you might know, one of my best friends was married a couple of weeks ago. Her fiance surprised her with a Hello Kitty Cake made at Charm City Cakes. Charm City Cakes is a bakery in Baltimore that is featured on The Food Network in a fantastic show called Ace of Cakes. The cake was modelled after her Hello Kitty doll. Ace of Cakes is one of Lori's favorite shows and let's just say she has a fondness for Hello Kitty.
I didn't have enough memory on my camera to make a real video but I created a short slide show. The cake is so cool and tasted fantastic. It really was a special thing that he did for her. There are also a couple of pics of Holly in here. Enjoy!



Some cake info for AOC fans:Duff didn't make the cake himself but one of the girls from the show did.The cake probably won't be on the show because of trademark complications but the camera crew was there when they picked up the cake.

No Butt Towels for my Children

An upcoming trip to the beach and a thread on a forum I frequent reminded me of the following tale of humiliation...

When I was in preschool thousands of years ago, my mother embarrassed me and I've only recently found the humor in it.

You know that Coppertone ad with the dog pulling off the little girls bikini bottom..... Well, I had a towel with that picture on it and my mom made me take it to sprinkler day at school. (We were allowed to splash around in the irrigation system one day a week or so.)

The little boys teased me because I had a towel with a butt on it and I was so upset and hated the towel. The next time my mom tried to make me take the towel to school I had a total meltdown but was to embarrassed to tell her it was because of the butt. She thought I was just being a brat.

As an adult, I definitely see the cuteness of the butt-towel but really, what was my mother thinking? I would never send my child to school with a butt towel, no matter how cute it is.
