Ace of Cakes

If you're one of my friends then it is very likely that I will have spoken about how AMAZING Ace of Cakes is! I am literally addicted to the show. I'm not even joking. In the holidays I watched it at least once again and I don't get bored if I see the same episodes over and over... even if it is in the same day! Some people might say that's sad but the show is truly awesome!

If you're not one of my friends then you may have heard about it anyway, because it is awesome. (If you haven't heard of it then it is on the Food Network Channel... go watch.) I think it might just be in my top 5 of favourite TV shows... almost definitely. I just think that Duff Goldman and the rest of the team at Charm City Cakes are just SO talented! They make amazing cakes and I hope that maybe I could be able to make cakes that good one day... in the future. 

I was watching the other day and they made a big dinosaur that was blowing out some candles on a cake for a museum, which was awesome even thought they did have a little bit of trouble at the moment. Also they made a cake in the shape of a German Shepherd and it was amazing. It was sort of cartoon style but the detail on it was fantastic.

The show is really funny because Duff is really just a big kid and there is always something crazy going on!  For example, I am watching it right now and Duff had a bagpipe man in the bakery...

The other day I typed 'Ace of Cakes' into google images just to see some of the things that they had done and I found this: 

Now this is a cake that the IBers will appreciate! We all have to have one of these Ti calculators and I think I would much prefer one of these calculators... yum! 

This is another doggy one that they have done and personally I think it looks very realistic. I'm not sure if I had one of these cakes that I would be able to cut into it because they are so beautiful! Who am I kidding... if I am presented with a cake OF COURSE I am going to eat it!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

So we all know it's nearly Christmas (16 days to go... wahoo) and I have to say today I am feeling particularly festive today!
This morning I had a free period and as usual I was 'doing my English presentation' but there was something so much more important on my mind - Christmas!!

As the title of this blog suggests, I am hoping that we have a white Christmas this year! (So is Amy SB - you get a mention wooo) I think that would be amazing! I don't think I have ever had a white Christmas so I would find it quite exciting :) I shall keep hoping for one because it really would make Christmas!!

I was hungry and therefore, feeling very annoyed with myself that I had stupidly forgotten to eat my advent calendar chocolate this morning. Not only was I feeling hungry, but I was also unable to remember what the date was because December is the only month where I could tell you what the date is so easily because of the amazing creation that is the advent calendar!

While on the subject of advent calendars I was thinking how pointless it was to open them in the way we do, 1-24, because personally I think it would be more logical to open it starting at 24 and ending at 1 because then we could count down the days until Christmas! Therefore, I have decided that next year I will open my advent calendar backwards :)

Another amazing think about Christmas is the food and the TV! Now, since I have had freesat I have fallen in love with The Food Network channel (405) IT IS AMAZING! The best show has got to be food network challenge, where they made all kinds of big crazy cake and sculptures made from sugar and chocolate. But as it is nearly Christmas they have had people building giant ginger bread houses, a gingerbread house competition and stuff like this so I have decided that in the holidays I am going to try and make a ginger bread house... only a little one... no giant ones for me :( Also I have been given some ideas for some cookies which I may make next week and give to my friends :)
