Thanks for clearing up the acronyms.. Some I am very familiar with and some I wasn't quite clear on and was afraid to ask.

oh i definatelly recommend using mmf!! i loved it. it was my first time with it this wkend and i have to admit that i think i might have fallen in love. i was s excited b how easy it was to make- use and eat right off the cake!! o need peeling it off like store bought fondant. and tastes like circus peanuts....not cardboard.. haha not to even mention the money i saved by making it and not buying it..i saved about 16.oo for a dbl batch compared to a large box of wiltons fondant. icon_biggrin.gif

  • could some one tell me how to make mmf and how to use mmf. you don't know how long i have been fighting to figure out what mmf was. thanks. [list=]

Since I am always lerking around the the "Unanswered Topic" section, I wanted to add the following:

OPBBTL = Old Post Brought Back To Life

I noticed that if it is a post by a new member and it doesn't get any response...they hardly ever post again...and that's sad!

Har, I'd just seen someone post about how their hubby had gone beyond the call of duty with some cake task and thought DH was "Dedicated Husband". I suppose that fits in most places, though. Right?

If I might suggest a couple more "Dears":

DW: Dear Wife (already suggested)
DGF: Dear GirlFriend and
DBF: Dear BoyFriend (not everybody is married to their sweetie)
SO: Significant Other of either gender, married or not, more all purpose

From other forums I frequent:
FWIW: For what it's worth
ASAIK: As far as I know
IIRC: If I recall correctly
Zombie: old, long-dead thread brought back to life. (OK, so that's not an acronym.)
