Planning, the Devil is in the details...

I'm working on my plans for HALLOWEEN! I know I'm touched BUT I don't care I LOVE IT!
This year I've settled on a wedding theme something along the lines of the wedding feast from Great Expectations with a little creeper thrown in... I've already located molds for the candy rats....LIFE IS GOOD! LOL! I'm going to try my hand at making a wedding cake...Halloween style of course. I've never worked with fondant before this should be interesting. My cake decorating skills I haven't used since 1984 in culinary school. I wasn't much of a pastry chef then, BUT my attention to detail and my patients level for working with artistic stuff has grown over that time. Any way it will be a learning experience, and my nod to one of my favorite shows Ace of Cakes. Not sure if I sould thank them for the inspiration yet... LOL!

I found some wonderful pieces for the buffet table at Hobby Lobby. I call it fondly Goth elegant. Black "jeweled" pieces pretty and creepy at the same time gotta love it! I just have to find the perfect table cloths...

This is what I'd love to wear....BUT isn't going to happen...BUMMER
