Thanks for visiting the pond, come again.<br /><br />K9,<br />I adore this cake plate. In fact, I like any well done milk glass .... I actually have my Mom's collection of milk glass, and my MIL's too. I do like the powdered sugar designs for baked goods. Years ago I would use the templates for a cookie shooter as the stencil for powdered sugar cake decor! Good thing cause I was always messing up with the coookie shooter.<br /><br />As for the cake ... it definitely IS very doable. It's actually a good idea to boil and puree the beets the day before making the cake.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-37456153313785083802009-11-04T18:07:27.818-05:002009-11-04T18:07:27.818-05:00i think this is doable. im sure the cake is nice a...i think this is doable. im sure the cake is nice and moist and the color rich. ive done that powdered sugar cut out design before for my valentine cakes. it is a beautiful presentation. well done fishy. love that cake stand. i think my mom had one.sparringK9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08031137344229440004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-51393808724164706702009-11-04T16:46:24.283-05:002009-11-04T16:46:24.283-05:00OK, after going on and on about how I don't li...OK, after going on and on about how I don't like beets, I am pretty sure I could eat this cake.

Also a great family activity with the kiddos because it can be broken out into 3 different areas of responsibility which , when combined, results in an awesome whole. Maybe not quite as team building as a sport, but a great stay at home activity with a reward at the end.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-80086925232647259552009-11-04T16:29:24.915-05:002009-11-04T16:29:24.915-05:00Beets for dessert - brilliant.
