... And The Home Of The Brave ... Play Ball!!

I thought I read home of the Braves. whoo!

You might get to use those tickets :>D

After years my seats are worth paying for. We should also be there.

I added your Derrick Hall to my prayer list today. He's to young!

Pan

Go Brewers!!!   (or in the original version )

I'm not much of a baseball fan, and I absolutely refuse to go to the new ballpark (long story), but it's exciting for us here in Wisconsin to see the baseball team do so well as the Packers did last year. Some of my friends are over the moon with excitement!

One of the craziest 12 hours of baseball we've had in a long time. Technology is great, isn't it?

Sorry, but you all need to learn how to say Texas Rangers.!!!!!!!

i use to be the phillies spring training caterer for about 8 years when i lived in florida. not for the players, but for the owners, mgrs. and press...fun times, good ball club, great fans! certainly ate my share of hot dogs over the years, but then again, i adore a good hot dog....came up with a special condiment we called 'melish'...for lack of a better name...basically mustard, onions and good pickle relish.....think it's really a chow chow...gotta say, it's great on a dog....sooo, i'm still a phillie's fan.....play ball!

joey

hey panini,

what's that, your garage? how bout a picture of one of your incredible cakes.....pretty please!

Joey, Yes, I only cook with copper in the garage.

Lab? Spot on, We're doing some brain experimenting during lunch.

It was the only thing my idiot computer would let me pull up.

I know you know BJIC, it's my sugar box in the bakery kitchen.

Rangers? We don't have it this year. Nolan Ryan was sleeping in his box last night.

i'm sure you figured it out by now, but bjic=but just in case.....

joey

This is what we do at the sugar box.

This is where we make the money with boiled sugar. We have to pull it. Kind of like taffy.

Gorgeous.

BDL

Yes we sell quite a few for wedding cakes depending on the wheather. That little one there we use

as centerpeices for tables with some truffles or Friandise. It has a little pedestal. We usually price by the pedal.

I think those are 20's. Total 60.00

Did anyone get to watch the Rangers today? Some really good baseball. Pitch-out to catch upton OMG. I get

a little pounding in the chest thinking I might see another world series game.

Wow, Beautiful sugar work!  And I love that striped cake on your page of pics.

No opinion on baseball.  I can opine on football and basketball, however.

In October I do a lot of reading b/c of all the baseball on the tube.  :)  

DD

Go Ranger!

WOW Panini...just WOW!....

so how long does it take from the get go? how long do you have to work with the sugar before it hardens? do you add something in it for workability? how long does a piece last? one person or two person job? do you have an idea and just go from there or is is more scientific? who orders these? how do you color the sugar/ how hot does the sugar get? glove work? walk us through it if you have the time...short version please....absolutely beautiful pan...you should be very, very proud of yourself, your team....you're truly an artisan....

Joey,

We usually try to stick to a minimum of 12. That  one I posted is a centerpiece. The regular flowers are around 12 leaves.

We usually prepour our colors. A dozen for a wedding ckae may take one person almost two hours to finish and retail for 220.

I'm not sure if you can enlarge that little avitar, but we do really well with this type of Item. It's a little orange blown sugar

vase with a single ste. We have restaurents who use these for tables. We have a little card to tell customers what is is. They have

quite a long shelf life and is more cost effective to the restaurant.

There are some good youtubes outhere.

Ranger are in! Go yankees!

Kaneohe,

No we still have to wait. I gave up the play-off for series. I was a little disappointed to

see Detroit there. I think they will be an competitive opponent.. Good for Detroit though. With their Football team

and the baseball team , they can certainly use this with this economy. I will not feel bad if both go all the way.

Lions and Tigers  represent the hard working folks!!!!

sorry pan,

but A Rod is A zero...they should call him mr. UnOctober in my opinion! over paid and a prima donna to boot! my husband is a new yorker(queens) and he even says he stinks!

joey

Joey, I hear ya!! heck, we gave him away. All sizzle...no steak!!

I was hoping NY because I really think we're going to have trouble with Detroit.

I've got 2 series games if we make it.

One of my charities is the Ranger Wives.

These Players are so loose they are comical. They exchanged name tags with each other before the national press conference.

Watch my gumba Napoli. Every single one expresses, like a minor league team. " we came up 3 short"

I just met Fergie Jenkins, what a guy. The scalpers are 1000ft. long on the incoming roads. Gosh, wish all you were here. Weather perfect!!!!!!!!!

I scored 4 seats 4 rows behind the visitors dougout. $220. I think the 3 pound pretzel cost that much. Loaded nachoes 13.50

Go Rangers!!!!! watch my Gumba Napoli!!!! Hey!!!! I'm sitting in the diamond Club and my buddie who has one of these pads. She says it will actually

post to ChefTalk.. I don't believe it!!!
