For those ... http://www.thedomesticscientist.com/?p=1148 For my birthday I decided to be crazy-go-nuts on my own birthday cake and really push my boundaries as a novice baker.

And ya know what, I didn't ... http://www.thedomesticscientist.com/?p=1142 I think Twitter has ruined my desire to post stuff here!

FYI, Ari ... http://www.thedomesticscientist.com/?p=1141 Wanna know what's awesome? Dinosaurs. And it looks like they're taking over Etsy! They're marching on however they can!

Anyway, ... http://www.thedomesticscientist.com/?p=1106 I've been scheming this project for a couple of months now, I just had to wait until it was completed to even talk about it.
