A Look Ahead –at a Busy October Weekend
In the effort to resurrect my blog's posting schedule, today I am writing what was usually my Thursday "look ahead" events calendar.

A Blast of the Past #154: Grün
September 2012 saw the movement to center stage of Grün as the character I created in cake and icing for Nathan's Birthday. The character was, and still is, an original. Nathan took to drawing box shapes (squares, rectangles) and then adding faces to the boxes. Grün got his name from the German word for green, since … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #154: Grün
