Amy – ha ha ;)

Kitty – oh goodness, don’t die!

Kitt – you can meet him yourself, my dear. Sign up for a class at CSR :)

Lily – wow, chocolate on the ceiling? I have yet to do that. Walls, yes – ceiling… not yet ;)

Pearl – can you imagine the bad mood I’d be in from all of that heat?

Manisha – I know ;) But it still bugged me! Isn’t Adrienne adorable?

Rosa – thanks!

Jennywenny – a great combo!

Phoo-D – I love the squirt bottle too – great for frosting or decorations or plating.

Randi – I had never heard of Jared Leto until you guys brought him up!

Karen – I’ll bet they’d be surprised, but they probably wouldn’t mind ;)

Barbara – ah ha ha, I was interested in taking the 20 week course because of the COURSE. There are many chefs who teach at CSR, so likely Chef Michael wouldn’t be the instructor ;)

Jess – honestly, I didn’t know what I was going to do with the strawberry and I just began chopping it up.

Barbara – :)

Amy – thanks! I couldn’t decide between the dripping look or a full on glaze. Turns out I didn’t have enough glaze for a full on glaze.

Jennifer – thank you :)

Peter – well, you learn to salvage things when you screw up as often as I do!

Angelique – I dunno! You can call up CSR and find out.

Farmerpam – Oh hon, I wish you were my neighbor. You wouldn’t believe how much butter I go through in one week of baking…

Madam Chow – thanks, you’re so sweet.

Stephanie – ha ha…

Mrs. E – thanks.

Charlane – they worked out alright, I guess!

Bri – triangles are a gimmick, but I wanted to try it out.

Diana – you’re so clever! I’ll keep that in mind.

Cindy – I’m all about the tricks of the squirty bottle!

Tartelette – too sweet for me ;) But the chocolate lovers liked it!

Irene – thanks :)

Margie – if the cake had crumbled into non-recognition, I probably wouldn’t have blogged it at all ;)

Asianmommy – aww, thanks.

Blair – ha ha ha, you will apparently have to get in line behind all of the others!

Fiona – no, it’s not horrible. Some of the best food is glorified white trash food.

JessW – oh no! I’m sorry about the bread. I don’t bake bread too often at my elevation, but I wonder if shattering bread is in my future?

Peabody – you’re such a sweet tooth ;)

Jo – ha!

Gita – you ladies are soooo brazen! ;)

Macie – thanks!

Miss Jane – that sounds good. I think the proportions on this recipe were whack, but I also knew the chiffon would be too airy compared to the original recipe.

Chez Us – now what would Lenny say?!

Aran – I’d say you’re about as old as I am, sweetie! You guys are so funny.

Hillary – :)

Lori – heh heh!

Lindsay – thanks.

Pinky – boy, I must have been busy playing volleyball or starting grad school because this was not on my radar at all!

Mollie – xxoo.
