so after months of leaving my vox blog empty, i've officially decided that i don't have time for it. if you'd like to keep reading my inane views on things and stuff, click on over to my real blog.
surprisingly, i actually post there.
ciao, vox!
oh, jesus but i've been ignoring my vox account as of late! not much is new other than my being stupid busy.
i've got a copy of dirty sugar cookies waiting for me at the queen anne library. yep, that's pretty much it for today.
i thought about posting all of the finished cakes here but,
honestly, i'm caked out at the moment. why not check out the
needlework that i finished tonight instead? it's on etsy should you desire a wizardy needlework of your own.
hooray. pictures. it's been slow
work today due to the heat. but i've managed to salvage the one
cake that imploded (well, ok, it didn't really implode.) and it's now the gameboy cake you see above.
the centipede and ms pacman cakes are still in the works.
pictures tomorrow? i really hope that they survive the heat
at the cakewalk!
have i mentioned how i just want to curl up
into fetal position and weep at this point? the chocolate cake
that was going to be part of the trio of cakes fell apart. i had
a feeling that it would. it just wasn't dense enough. i
think i'll be able to salvage it though. (it's now the grey
square on the wax paper that you see on the right in this photo.)
also, it's too hot for the icing. it gets all splooodgy and
floppy and won't work right. so i keep having to put things in
the fridge and/or freezer. and, and, oh hell. i give up for
the night. i'll just have to get up super early when it's cool
ouside and work until about midday.
sometimes i think things would be easier if i would just make plain old layer cakes....
ok, so those of you who know me from flickr and my blogger
blog know that i make video game cakes. people on vox
may not be aware of this odd hobby of mine. so i'll tell you now. hi, my name
is rakka. i make a lot of things based on video games.
anyway, this is the first of four cakes that i'll be donating to 826 seattle's
cakewalk. if you're in seattle this weekend, please stop by the
phinney ridge community center for the festivities. all proceeds go to a great cause!
and now i'm going to take a nap. making cakes wears me out.
i love this old peter falk movie. i'm so glad that we have it on dvd now!
oh goodness me, i hadn't realized how much i
was missing thom yorke until i listeded to this. now i'm digging
my old radiohead cds out of hiding. hooray for the eraser.
can't wait to get started. red dust and the noodle maker were both really good.
i banged the hell out of my head today.
i was cleaning up a pile of cat puke and then *wham!!!!* my noggin
connected with the bathroom sink. (my vision went kind of screwy
for a little while too. what fun! they should make rides
like this at disneyland!)
where was i going with this? oh yes. i made a diagram
for you so you can see where exactly on my skull the new lump is
currently residing. sometimes, i think i'd like to have a
phrenologist give me a reading just so i can see the look of horror on
their face when they feel what an irregular skull i have.
