This Means War!

Here's our attempts at roses from the cake decorating class. Looks like there were a couple of smart alecs on deck :) THANK YOU Emmaus friend Penny for sharing your skills with us and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Cindy!
Cupcake War will take place Tuesday evening April 24th at 6:30pm so be sure to come back and use your new talent.

Eggs

A common U.S. tradition at Easter-time is to dye hard-boiled eggs. Kits are found at all the common retailers and are very inexpensive - the ones that come with cups make it extra-easy. Afterward serve the colorful (peeled) eggs with your Easter breakfast, sliced into a salad, or for a snack. The eggs pictured here were dyed by Sharon W. (once again ignore the date!)
How to hard boil eggs (from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook): Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to just cover the eggs. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes; drain the water out. Run cold water over the eggs or place them in ice water until cool enough to handle; drain.
