I have used 3 sets of these for many years and wish I had more. Although the newer designs are like 1 board with 3 different "waves" in it...this older model with its design is much...
I always have some of the White in my pantry for those days when the grandkids are over and want to make something. I have many of the other colors...but sometimes the kiddos want to make their...

Custom Cupcake Wrappers are an easy way to add a special touch to a party. I like to use them for baby showers because I can put the name of the family on the wrapper. And no...
I live in MO in the summer and TX in the winter. Both of my kitchens have the pro mixer. I absolutely love both of my pro Kitchen Aids. Very sturdy and wonderful for breadmking. I still wish that...
TAlk about hubbie happiness going to the dogs----I can see where you would be upset-it would have been different if you hadn't told hubbie about the cake-next time ask him if he has his "listening ears" on-they all hear but do they listen??? While it WAS nice for him to take your son for a walk....
What you do may be a "little thing" but "little things" add to alot!
OMG..
Well if your anything like me, I would be adding another kennel. Only no blanket to lay on and well I would fill his water bowl every other day until he got the point. When I say something don't just HEAR me LISTEN to me!!!! The dog deserves water changed everyday he has no way of defending himself.
A woman is like a bag of Tea. You don't know how strong she is until you put her in hot water. Sweet Days and Happy Baking!
OMG I am dying here LOL... Your Hubby actually had the audacity to say "only a practice cake"? I would put him out in the dog house with the dog and see how he "likes them apples" That will teach him that it's NOT only JUST a practice cake.

Sorry... but can't help laughing. Maybe he should have walked the dog instead of your son.

Great Story! Remeber that one for the future for motivation for the hubby! Say "remember when?"
Poor Dog!! I can relate. My daughter pulled an iced cake in the floor one night!! So no more deco while the kids are up!! I have 4 of them and boy they can do just as much damage as your puppy! Good Luck with the next one!
I hope this never happens again to you or to anyone here!
But if it does here's a suggestion for the dogs. Give them small teaspoon/tablespoon depending on how big they are of peroxide and take them outside. It will cause them to um send back what they have eaten. It's really good if you've had a dog accidentally get into some chocolate or something you know they shouldn't have.
My MIL had to use it when one of their labs ate a kitchen dishwashing glove LOL !!
I can definitely relate to your story! We have a big yellow lab that is always sneaking around the kitchen!!! She actually belongs to my sister...but somehow ended up at our house! I baked a cake one day and thought I had put it far enough back on the counter. WRONG!!! I came back to find the cake was gone...and smudges of icing on the floor! I called my sister and said...."Come get your dog!!!!" But she ended up staying! A couple of days later...I baked another cake...and was letting it cool. I went back to decorate it...and yes you guessed it...GONE!!!! I again called my sister very angry...and she said "What happened...did the dog eat another cake???" And I said yes...and then she told me she was working and hung up me!!! Needless to say...even after all that...the dog is STILL with us!!!! But I really love your story and picture!

OMG That sounds like something that would happen in my house (or esspecially TinaRe's (my best friend) But my dogs know the pup will be in her crate and my big dog lays in the floor not daring to hardly breathe while I decorate. I think he learned his lesson when he stole a Club Sandwich that had toothpicks in it. He sees sharp objects around cakes and quivers in fear. I really hope that your course 2 cake (not the "practice" one as your hubby said) came out well, Im sure that it did!!I do LOVE Kristy's marketing idea! And this will be the cake that will be in your album forever!
I am sorry about your cake, cause only us Wilton class partakers know the hard work we put into getting our cakes right for class, but my favorite sayings is "Don't Get Mad, Get Even" A day will come when something is important to your hubby, and when something happens naturally or with your help, just look nonchanlantly and say "It was only......" Ex. When your husband is really hungry, let the dog in to to help him eat!
I can relate to that...
When I was taking classes, each of my kids got mini wedding cakes for their birthdays that yr. because I was practicing, and getting ready to do my daughter's wedding cake last yr. I don't know why men think what we do is non important.... The closer it got to my daughter's wedding the crabbier I got... The poor dog wasn't allowed in my kitchen for 2 wks... and everyone was ready to move out of the house the week of baking and decorating... Try making meals, cleaning, and everything else while working around a big wedding cake...lol.
I got through it... the dog got the cake cuttings and icing for being so good...
I hope this doesn't happen to you again.
Happy baking,
