I understand your pain! On Valentine's Day, I was working on the strawberry shortcake cake I posted here. I was using a springform pan set that sprung too soon! It landed on top of the heating element in the oven and caught on fire! With smoke and fire in my oven, the kids opened the back door and started yelling "Help! Help! Fireman!" (we live right next to a school, so I'm sure someone heard us!) Anyway, I just turned off the oven and let it burn out. I ended up having to scrape cake out of the oven with my fireplace shovel. First time in 8 years of making cakes to start a fire! I questioned my baking skills. LOL I was in too much of a hurry. icon_sad.gif

Hang in there!!

Diane-I want to thank you so very much for making up my mind for me---I was going to measure out 4 cups of powdered sugar in ziplock bags so all I would have to do is grab a bag already measured when I went to make more icing(currently I keep it all in a container with a lid on it and measure it out-I buy the big bags and dump it in the container)...you have made me change my mind-I would be the next one to make the snow fall in my kitchen-it would be like when my son was a baby and got ahold of the baby powder on hardwood floors-thanks but no thanks!!!
What you do may be a "little thing" but "little things" add to alot!

Nanni ~ I think that is a great idea! I am going to pre-measure my ingredients now! What a quick and easy way to keep things in order and the kitchen clean too!
